Job Details
Description
Turner Property Recruitment is delighted to be partnering with a leading multidisciplinary property consultancy to appoint an Associate Director / Senior Associate Director / Director – MEP Building Services Engineering for its Manchester office.
This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious Mechanical & Electrical Building Services Engineer to play a pivotal role in establishing and growing the consultancy's MEP presence across the North of England.
The appointment is available at Associate Director, Senior Associate Director or Director level, depending on experience, making it an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build and lead a team with the full support of an established London MEP division.
This is a strategic leadership role combining technical excellence, client development and team growth. You'll lead the delivery of MEP design, technical advisory and professional engineering services across a wide variety of sectors, while helping to shape the future direction of the Manchester MEP team. Working closely with senior leadership, you'll have genuine autonomy to develop the regional service offering, recruit and mentor engineers, and contribute to the wider growth of the business.
Business development is a fundamental part of this opportunity. We're looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, identifying opportunities and winning work. You don't need an extensive client following, but you should have the commercial awareness, confidence and drive to develop existing relationships, generate new business and become a recognised figure within the North West property and construction market. You'll represent the business at networking events, client meetings and industry functions while working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider consultancy to maximise cross-selling opportunities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Technically, you'll lead the design and specification of mechanical and electrical building services from concept through to detailed design, ensuring compliance with current legislation, British Standards and industry best practice. You'll also oversee technical reviews, undertake feasibility studies, technical due diligence, condition surveys, planned preventative maintenance programmes, lifecycle assessments, capital expenditure planning and asset management advice. Advising clients on decarbonisation, net zero strategies, energy efficiency and sustainable building design will form an important part of the role.
The successful candidate will be degree qualified in Building Services Engineering or a related discipline and ideally Chartered through CIBSE, IMechE or IET. You'll have a proven track record within a consultancy environment, experience leading multidisciplinary projects for both public and private sector clients, outstanding technical knowledge and the ability to inspire, mentor and develop others. Strong commercial awareness, financial management skills and a passion for growing both people and business are essential.
In return, you'll receive a highly competitive salary, genuine progression to Director (or the opportunity to join at Director level for the right individual), significant autonomy, the opportunity to build and lead a new regional MEP team and the backing of a respected multidisciplinary consultancy committed to investing in its people and long-term growth.
