Small Works Supervisor

Description

We are seeking an ambitious Small Works Supervisor to take full ownership of minor capital projects, building fabric alterations, asset lifecycle upgrades, and mechanical/electrical variations across a highly regulated, safety–critical estate.

This role serves as the crucial bridge between operational maintenance supervision and full–scale project management. Moving away from daily hands–on tool–time, you will lead an established on–site technical team, manage specialist sub–contractors, and act as the primary technical interface for corporate client stakeholders.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Project Delivery & Execution: Scope, plan, budget, and deliver small works, office fit–outs, asset renewals, and minor building variations across mechanical, electrical, and fabric disciplines from initial survey to final handover.

Team Leadership & Mentorship: Line–manage and direct a dedicated on–site engineering team (Electrical, Mechanical, Fabric); coordinate daily task allocations, oversee quality control, and mentor junior technicians.

Sub–Contractor Governance: Onboard, schedule, and manage external specialist contractors; verify RAMS, issue Permits to Work (PTW), monitor site performance, and ensure commercial delivery aligns with contract specs.

Client & Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for client representatives, running regular progress meetings, producing clear reporting dashboards, and managing expectations in a live, operational environment.

Commercial & Procurement Support: Assist with raising purchase orders, conducting job estimates/costings, tracking project spend against budgets, and managing variations.

REQUIREMENTS & PERSON SPECIFICATION

Experience: Proven track record coordinating small works, minor projects, or lifecycle tasks within Hard FM, building services, or construction fit–outs.

Technical Foundation: Solid understanding of building services (mechanical, electrical, or structural fabric maintenance).

Health & Safety: Robust knowledge of permit–to–work systems, RAMS verification, and statutory safety protocols. IOSH Managing Safely or NEBOSH General Certificate is highly desirable.

Leadership & Communication: Natural leadership skills with the confidence to direct multi–trade site teams and present progress clearly to corporate client stakeholders.
