💼 £100,000 – £140,000 + Executive Package
📍 M4 Corridor
🏗️ Construction | MEP | Data Centres | Energy | Nuclear | Mission Critical

Walker & Sloan are working with an outstanding regional construction contractor to recruit an MEP Divisional Lead to oversee the delivery of a major portfolio of technically complex projects across the M4 Corridor.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced MEP leader to step into a high-impact strategic role within a growing business delivering large-scale mission-critical and infrastructure-led schemes across the data centre, energy, and nuclear sectors.

The position offers the opportunity to influence both project delivery and long-term business growth, while leading and developing a high-performing building services function across multiple live and upcoming projects.

🏗️ The Role

As MEP Divisional Lead, you will take overall responsibility for the strategic leadership, coordination, and performance of the MEP function across a portfolio of flagship projects.

Working closely with senior operational, commercial, and pre-construction teams, you’ll drive consistency, technical excellence, and delivery performance across all building services activities from early-stage design through to commissioning and handover.

This is not a single-project role — you’ll operate across multiple complex schemes simultaneously, providing leadership, direction, and technical oversight to project teams throughout the region.

Key Responsibilities

• Leading the MEP strategy and delivery across multiple high-value projects
• Managing and mentoring Building Services Managers, Project Managers, and wider technical teams
• Driving programme certainty, quality standards, and commercial performance
• Overseeing procurement strategies and supply-chain engagement across MEP packages
• Supporting pre-construction, technical design reviews, and delivery planning
• Acting as the senior stakeholder lead for clients, consultants, and specialist subcontractors
• Ensuring best practice in design coordination, commissioning, and technical compliance
• Supporting the continued growth and development of the regional MEP division
• Identifying opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and improved project delivery

✅ Candidate Profile

• Strong background within MEP or Building Services delivery for major construction projects
• Previous experience operating at senior project, regional, or divisional leadership level
• Proven track record delivering technically complex schemes within sectors such as data centres, energy, nuclear, or other mission-critical environments
• Strong leadership skills with experience managing multiple project teams simultaneously
• Commercially astute with a strong understanding of programme, risk, and delivery strategy
• Comfortable operating across both strategic leadership and technical delivery functions
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills

💰 What’s on Offer

• Salary between £100,000 – £140,000 depending on experience
• Executive-level package and bonus structure
• Clear progression towards Director-level leadership
• Opportunity to shape and influence a growing MEP division
• Exposure to nationally significant, technically advanced projects
• Long-term pipeline of secured work across the mission-critical and infrastructure sectors
