Job Description

Associate Director (Mechanical) - London - £65K 13% Pension, BUPA Significant Bonus

Human Capital Solutions is working on a unique opportunity in the market to source an Associate Director, to play a key role in leading and developing a newly formed M&E Design & Projects team, within a leading global Property Consultancy.

A relatively new M&E division that sits alongside an established and hugely successful M&E Asset Engineering team (TDD, Dilapidations, M&E Surveying) and will look to mirror its success. M&E is seen as a huge part of their future growth strategy and has the full backing of the board to grow its numbers and revenues.

The role will see you focus on delivering a range of M&E Design projects across their large portfolio of blue-chip clients across a range of sectors including Commercial, Retail Industrial, Residential, Healthcare, Leisure and more.

The role will be hands on delivering projects and will involve working with the senior management to build and grow the M&E Design & Projects team. You will be expected to be client facing and be at a level where you are comfortable delivering end to end projects independently.

Candidates should have been exposed to a variation of client facing situations and be comfortable with business development.

Although Business Development will form a key part of the role in due course, projects are leveraged via internal company networking with the M&E Asset Engineering, Project Management, Building Surveying teams, picking up projects from within the clients existing portfolio/client base, making winning work as straightforward as it possibly can be.

In these early stages the majority of the detailed design work will be outsourced until the team has grown and becomes capable of delivering its own designs, the role will therefore involve managing third party design consultancies, performance specification, peer review and project management.

The role will change as the team grows and in addition to client development and delivery/management of projects, will see you take on full design team management.

Key responsibilities year 1:

  • Strong project management skills in delivering plant replacement and office refurbishment projects
  • Good understanding of building services generally
  • Able to provide commercial advise to clients
  • Experienced in specification write up and good understanding of building services construction (dealing with contractors etc)
  • Good interpersonal & client facing skills
  • Good understanding of fee calculation and fee proposal write up
  • Ability to develop business by creating relationships with 'internal clients'
  • Ambition to lead and develop a team
  • Design led engineer with previous design experience in a traditional consultancy ideally

Essentially, a huge career opportunity for an individual who has strong technical experience and has demonstrated confidence in dealing with a variation of client facing situations.

The successful candidate will hold a key position with the M&E Design & Projects group as it grows and develops. The role will give you an opportunity to gain an understanding of the commercial property sector that will set you apart from your peers, whilst providing a technical and commercial challenge to keep your career development on track, within a team where there are no barriers to your career progression.

Joining the team at this early stage will expose you to an open career path through to a Director position and beyond and would therefore suit an ambitious individual who is looking to develop their career within a globally recognised brand.

Alongside a competitive salary you will receive a top-level package and a bonus structure that is unrivalled in the industry.
