Our Client is one of the leading international multi-disciplinary consulting engineering practices operating in the UK. With circa 18,000 staff spread across 35 countries, providing world class support to both the natural and built environment, this giant of the industry has been providing rewarding career paths for Engineers and Consultants at all levels for over 80 years. The Birmingham office provides a fantastic opportunity to be involved in locally based projects that will make a real visible difference throughout the midlands region. Working closely with department heads of neighbouring disciplines and championing joint bids wherever possible will ensure customers receive the very best service through joined up thinking and technical excellence. As an Associate Director and MEP Lead you will have established a proven track record of building teams and leading major projects, including project managing multi-disciplinary schemes that could include both in house and external collaboration. Business development will be an active part of the role and you will have an established network of industry contacts which can be leveraged to develop qualified opportunities, regionally and potentially nationally. The successful applicant will hold line management responsibility for a larger team of people including managing managers. This is an important and primary function of the position which should be given significant attention. You will lead by example, inspiring your direct reports and the wider team to perform at their optimum. As the business unit grows under your direct management, progression through to Director and full accountability for all aspects of the Birmingham MEP Team will duly follow. This high profile post will best suit an ambitious Mechanical or Electrical Building Services Engineer who feels comfortable leading from the front and implementing change. Client engagement must be encouraged at all levels, seeding relationships early and facilitating fruitful long term partnerships. Whilst a high degree of technical knowledge and experience is required in order to drive confidence and set a high bar for others to follow, just as important is promoting inclusivity, harnessing ideas, encouraging a can-do attitude and ultimately rewarding success. Applications are invited from appropriately qualified and experienced Building Services Engineers looking for a career in senior management
