My client is seeking an Assistant Technical Services Manager to support the delivery of complex mechanical and electrical (M&E) packages across major construction projects in London. This role is designed for individuals currently working within construction or fit-out who are looking to move into Technical Services, but may not yet have direct experience in this function.
The successful candidate will work directly alongside a Senior Technical Services Manager, receiving structured mentoring and hands-on exposure to technically challenging, high-profile schemes. This is a practical, project-focused role with a clear development pathway into a Technical Services Manager position.

-
