Pay: £90,604.25-£(phone number removed) per year
Job Description:
Location: London / Home Counties
Salary: Competitive
Sick of being the last person told before handover chaos?
Most senior commissioning managers get pulled in once the design's locked and the problems are already baked in. This one's different — you'd be doing feasibility studies and drawing reviews from the start, so the systems are commissionable before anyone picks up a spanner.
Is this you?
You've cut your teeth with a Tier 1 contractor, either on the commissioning or MEP contracting side.
You've delivered commissioning across multiple project types and sectors, and you've carried technical responsibility for multiple M&E packages worth £10m or more.
You understand the full project lifecycle — not just the bit at the end where everyone panics.
If that's you, keep reading.
What you'll be doing
- Running commissionability feasibility studies across the portfolio
- Reviewing drawings to make sure systems are designed to commission properly, not just to build
- Managing significant budgets and technical risk across M&E packages
- Supporting the company's MEP strategy — less reliance on external suppliers, more control over quality and safety
- Motivating and engaging the people delivering commissioning day to day
What you'll need
- Proven Tier 1 contractor experience in commissioning or MEP contracting
- Technical responsibility for M&E packages of £10m+
- Robust understanding of commissioning design, technical risk and opportunity management
- Working knowledge of UK building regulations and construction H&S law
CSA (Commissioning Specialist Association) membership is a bonus, not a requirement — if you've got the technical depth, don't rule yourself out.
What you'll get
Real influence over how projects are designed and delivered, not just how they're fixed at the end. Competitive salary, and the backing of a business actively investing in bringing commissioning in-house rather than treating it as an afterthought.
