Building Services Director

Step into a six-figure income and equity options with an independently owned national consultancy.

You’ll take ownership of a thriving fee base while guiding a skilled team of 12 engineers. This isn’t just progression—it’s a chance to co-own and shape the future of a profitable business.

With share options already in place, your contributions directly increase both your earnings and your stake in the company’s success.

You’ll inherit a well-established client base across commercial, residential and education sectors, but you’ll also have the freedom—and the backing—to expand it. With low overheads and a strong referral network, the path to growing your influence and increasing turnover is wide open.

Leading the mechanical and electrical design team means you’ll be at the heart of decision-making, steering both project direction and long-term strategy. The technical team is stable, well-led, and ready for the next phase of growth under your guidance.

What you’ll do

Lead and develop the mechanical and electrical design team, ensuring high-quality project delivery and maintaining strong client relationships. You’ll focus on expanding the existing client base while identifying new opportunities within the built environment.

With the autonomy to shape the business’s direction, you’ll drive increased fee income and secure new projects. Networking with property companies and developers will be a key part of your strategy to grow the consultancy.

What you’ll need

• Extensive experience in building services consultancy, with a deep understanding of mechanical and electrical design.

• A proven track record in team management, inspiring and leading engineers to deliver high-performance projects.

• Ambition and drive, with a mindset focused on business ownership and long-term success.
