We are looking for an experienced and technically credible Technical Project Manager to join our team and lead the successful delivery of complex engineering and infrastructure projects within a critical, live financial services environment.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role requiring a confident and articulate engineering professional who can challenge contractors, engage senior stakeholders, and take ownership of projects involving MEP systems, fit-outs, compliance upgrades, resilience programmes, and infrastructure improvements.

Join our team and play a key role in delivering excellence and innovation in Hard FM and Technical Facilities Services.

As a Technical Project Manager you'll:

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of technical projects, including MEP installations, fit-outs, refurbishment works, compliance programmes, and critical infrastructure upgrades.
• Provide strong technical oversight throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring engineering solutions are fit for purpose, compliant, and operationally resilient.
• Act as the technical authority on projects, confidently engaging with consultants, contractors, engineers, and client stakeholders.
• Ensure all works comply with statutory legislation and industry best practice, including CDM 2015, Building Safety Act, Building Regulations, Fire Safety Order, and corporate governance requirements.
• Manage project risks, commissioning activities, quality assurance inspections, and technical sign-off processes.
• Oversee contractor performance, ensuring engineering standards, safety requirements, and programme commitments are consistently achieved.
• Control project budgets, schedules, and reporting, providing clear and accurate updates to senior leadership teams.
• Apply site knowledge and lessons learned from previous engineering projects to drive continuous improvement and operational excellence.

What we're looking for:

• A technically qualified engineering professional with significant experience managing MEP, building services, fit-out, infrastructure, and compliance-related projects.
• Minimum 10 years' experience delivering complex engineering projects within critical or highly regulated environments.
• Demonstrable expertise across mechanical, electrical, and public health systems, with the ability to confidently review designs, challenge technical solutions, and make informed engineering decisions.
• Proven track record of delivering projects in live operational environments where business continuity and resilience are paramount.
• Strong working knowledge of statutory compliance requirements, including CDM 2015, Building Safety Act, Building Regulations, and Fire Safety legislation.
• Experience managing multidisciplinary contractors, consultants, and specialist supply chain partners.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the confidence and credibility to engage at all levels from engineers and contractors through to senior client representatives.
• Strong commercial awareness with experience managing project budgets, risk registers, programmes, and lifecycle planning.
• An articulate communicator who combines technical expertise with strong leadership, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities.
