Job Details
A leading international main contractor is seeking an experienced Building Services Manager (MEP) to lead the delivery of Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health systems across major construction projects.
The business is a well–established, family–owned construction group delivering large–scale projects across the UK, Ireland and Europe. They operate across commercial, residential, healthcare, infrastructure and data centre sectors, with a strong focus on quality, safety and long–term building performance.
This Building Services Manager (MEP) role will take responsibility for the full coordination and delivery of building services from pre–construction through to commissioning and handover.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
