Senior Manager Technical Services

Critical Environments | Financial Services | London

Circa £100,000 + Car Allowance + Bonus + Benefits

We are working exclusively with a leading facilities management provider to recruit a Senior Technical Services Manager for a high-profile financial services account in London (city).

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who is genuinely technical, commercially credible and confident operating across complex critical environments. The role is less about day-to-day engineering management and more about being the technical brain behind the operation, setting standards, managing risk and supporting a strong team on a flagship client account.

The Role

You will act as the senior technical authority across a critical UKI portfolio, providing engineering governance, technical oversight and subject matter expertise across key sites.

You will take ownership of technical strategy, risk, compliance and engineering standards, with a particular focus on critical environments, banking infrastructure and data centre-style operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technical governance across critical engineering environments

• Own and develop HV/LV maintenance strategy across the portfolio

• Support Authorised Person frameworks and safe systems of work

• Drive engineering standards across self-delivered and subcontracted services

• Manage technical risk, change control and incident investigation

• Support project integration from a technical due diligence perspective

• Review and improve SOPs, EOPs and scenario testing programmes

• Engage confidently with client stakeholders, project teams and senior leadership

• Provide technical support and guidance to engineering and FM teams

What We’re Looking For

• Strong technical background within critical or mission-critical environments

• Experience across financial services, banking, data centres or similar estates

• HV/LV Authorised Person experience, ideally Senior Authorised Person level

• Strong understanding of EICR, ITEE, safe systems of work and high-risk electrical environments

• Experience managing technical governance, compliance, risk and change control

• Confident stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence at senior level

• A modern, solutions-focused mindset with strong attention to detail

• Someone collaborative, positive and credible, with the ability to bring calm and clarity to complex technical issues

Why Apply?

This is a standout opportunity to join a well-established account with a strong on-site team, a good client relationship and a genuinely critical estate.

You will be trusted as the technical authority, given visibility across senior stakeholders and asked to shape the way technical standards are delivered across a high-profile financial services environment.

This role would suit someone who enjoys being the person others turn to when the engineering gets complex.
