Technical Services Manager

London | Up to £75,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Joshua Robert is delighted to be partnering with a leading UK property consultancy on the appointment of a Technical Services Manager to join their London team.

This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of the technical operations for one of London's most prestigious commercial office developments, while also playing a key role in shaping technical standards, ESG initiatives and building optimisation strategies across a wider commercial property portfolio.

Initially, the role will be based full time at a flagship Grade A office asset near St Paul's, supporting the building's transition from practical completion through to full occupation. As the building becomes fully operational, the position will evolve into a broader portfolio focused role, providing technical leadership across multiple commercial assets.

The Opportunity

Working closely with clients, occupiers, consultants and operational teams, you will act as the technical lead across all M&E services, compliance, optimisation and project related activity.

This role offers far more than traditional facilities management, providing exposure to smart building technologies, ESG initiatives, net zero strategies, occupier fit out projects and major building improvement programmes.
