An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Technical Services Manager to take the lead at a high-profile, flagship banking site in Northampton. This is a critical vacancy, managing both engineering delivery and project liaison for one of the most prestigious contracts in the region.

We’re looking for someone technically strong (ideally with an electrical bias) and highly capable when it comes to team leadership, stakeholder engagement, and driving performance in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment.

The Role – Two Key Focus Areas:

  1. Engineering Operations & Compliance:

  2. Support and work alongside the current Engineering Manager (due to retire – this role is their clear successor).

  3. Oversee compliance, statutory maintenance, and service standards across a team of 20+ site-based engineers.

  4. Troubleshoot and resolve complex building services issues.

  5. Project Liaison & Stakeholder Engagement:

  6. Act as the bridge between contractors, subcontractors, and the client team (Barclays/Barclaycard).

  7. Participate in major meetings and ensure delivery aligns with the site's operational and technical requirements.

  8. Oversee coordination of £30 million+ in projects over the next 2 years.

Candidate Profile:

  • Strong M&E background – electrical bias preferred.

  • Excellent leadership and communication skills.

  • Ability to manage complex technical operations on a live, mission-critical site.

  • Comfortable interfacing with senior stakeholders and contractors.

  • Confident, solutions-focused, and resilient.

Why Apply?

  • One of the most strategic and high-impact technical roles available this year.

  • Clear succession path into the Engineering Manager role.

  • Career-defining opportunity on a top-tier client site.

  • Generous salary and benefits package.

Interview Process:

  • Stage 1: Face-to-face with Site Leadership

  • Stage 2: Interview with Engineering Lead and Director

  • Stage 3 (if required): Client panel
