Regional Maintenance Manager

Permanent | £70,000 - £80,000 + Package

3D Personnel are working with a growing multi-disciplined M&E contractor who are looking to appoint an experienced Regional Maintenance Manager to establish, develop and lead a new Maintenance and Facilities Management division.

This is a senior role offering the opportunity to build a division from the ground up, supported by an established M&E business and a leading construction contractor.

The successful candidate will take responsibility for developing the maintenance offering, securing new contracts, building a delivery team and ensuring the successful delivery of planned and reactive maintenance services across a growing client base.

This role would suit an experienced Maintenance, FM or Building Services professional who combines strong operational knowledge with a commercial mindset and an established network within the industry.

As Regional Maintenance Manager, you will be responsible for the development and day-to-day leadership of the Maintenance division, including:

• Establishing and growing a regional M&E maintenance and FM operation

• Developing the division's service offering across planned, preventative and reactive maintenance

• Generating new business and developing opportunities through your existing client and industry network

• Working closely with existing clients across the wider construction and M&E business to identify maintenance opportunities

• Securing new maintenance contracts, frameworks and service agreements

• Managing projects and maintenance contracts from mobilisation through to delivery

• Building and managing an operational team as the division grows

• Recruiting engineers, supervisors, contract managers and support staff where required

• Developing supply chain and subcontractor relationships

• Preparing tenders, proposals, budgets and commercial submissions

• Supporting pricing, contract negotiations and client presentations

• Ensuring contracts are delivered safely, commercially and to a high standard

• Maintaining strong client relationships and identifying opportunities for repeat and additional business

• Working alongside the wider M&E and construction teams to provide a complete Design, Build and Maintain offering

We are interested in speaking with experienced professionals from an M&E maintenance, Facilities Management, Building Services or technical services background.

You will ideally have:

• Strong experience within M&E maintenance, FM or Building Services

• Experience managing maintenance contracts, service agreements or FM operations

• A strong understanding of planned preventative and reactive maintenance

• Previous experience managing engineers, supervisors or contract teams

• Commercial awareness and experience managing budgets, tenders and contract performance

• Experience developing new client relationships and generating business

• An established network within the M&E, FM, property or construction sectors

• The ability and ambition to build and lead a new division

• Strong client-facing and communication skills

• A hands-on approach with the ability to operate strategically and operationally

Previous experience establishing or growing a maintenance division, regional business or service department would be particularly attractive.

This is not simply a contract management position.

You will be given the opportunity to establish and shape a new division within an ambitious, well-backed contractor, developing the team, client base, systems and overall strategy.

The wider business operates across the M&E and construction sectors, creating significant opportunities to provide clients with an integrated Design, Build and Maintain service.

For somebody looking for greater responsibility, autonomy and the opportunity to build a business unit around their own expertise and network, this represents an excellent long-term opportunity.
