Are you an experienced BMS Project Manager looking for the opportunity to work on bigger, more interesting projects while having a genuine say in how a growing regional business develops?
Perhaps you're already delivering projects successfully, managing clients, coordinating engineers and subcontractors, and taking responsibility for getting everything over the line.
But you're looking for something more than simply being handed another project.
More variety. More influence. More opportunity to build relationships and become a key part of a growing team.
We're working with a major BMS business that's continuing to invest in its Leeds and Yorkshire operation, and they're looking for an experienced BMS Project Manager to join the team.
This isn't a role where you'll be joining a business with nothing in the pipeline and being expected to create everything from scratch.
There's already significant work underway, including a number of major decarbonisation projects that you'll have the opportunity to get involved in from day one.
The Opportunity
One of the biggest attractions of this role is the work you'll be walking into.
These are substantial, technically interesting projects involving the replacement and integration of heating systems, including ground source and air source heat pumps, alongside the associated BMS controls and building systems.
They are exactly the sort of projects that demonstrates where the BMS industry is heading.
As more organisations invest in reducing carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency and modernising existing buildings, the demand for experienced BMS professionals capable of delivering these projects continues to grow.
And this is an opportunity to gain direct exposure to that work.
But it isn't all decarbonisation.
Alongside the larger projects, the business also delivers a varied portfolio of more traditional BMS projects, upgrades and high street work across the region.
You'll have the opportunity to manage a mixture of projects rather than spending your entire working life focused on one site.
The Role
You'll join an established BMS business with a growing presence across Leeds and Yorkshire.
Working closely with the regional leadership team, you'll take responsibility for delivering your own portfolio of BMS projects, ensuring they're completed successfully from initial mobilisation through to final handover.
You'll be trusted to manage your projects.
That means coordinating engineers and subcontractors, managing programmes, communicating with customers and taking responsibility for the technical and commercial performance of your work.
You'll need to be comfortable balancing the demands of a larger live project alongside smaller projects and ongoing customer requirements.
But there's another interesting element to this opportunity.
The Leeds operation is growing, and the business is looking to develop stronger relationships with local customers and expand its key account base.
That means you'll have the opportunity to get involved in more than simply delivering the work.
You'll be able to build relationships, identify opportunities and help shape the future workload of the region.
For someone who enjoys the customer-facing side of Project Management, that's a genuine opportunity to add value beyond the day-to-day delivery of projects.
Your responsibilities will include:
Managing BMS projects from mobilisation through to completion and handover
Taking ownership of project programmes, budgets and delivery milestones
Coordinating BMS engineers, commissioning teams and subcontractors
Managing project costs, variations and commercial performance
Working closely with clients, M&E contractors and other stakeholders
Overseeing procurement, resource planning and project requirements
Identifying and resolving technical and delivery challenges
Managing multiple projects and balancing competing priorities
Ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time and to the required standard
Building and maintaining strong relationships with local customers
Identifying opportunities for additional works and future projects
Supporting the continued growth of the Leeds and Yorkshire operation
More Than Just Delivering Projects
One of the things that makes this opportunity particularly interesting is the direction the business is heading.
The Leeds operation already has an established customer base and a healthy pipeline of work.
But there's a real ambition to grow its relationships with customers across Yorkshire and develop more long-term key accounts.
That creates an opportunity for a Project Manager who enjoys getting to know their clients, understanding their buildings and identifying where the business can add further value.
You won't be expected to become a salesperson.
But if you're the sort of Project Manager who naturally builds good relationships, spots opportunities and takes pride in keeping customers happy, those qualities will be valued.
And as the region continues to grow, there will be opportunities for the right people to take on greater responsibility.
What We're Looking For
First and foremost, we're looking for someone who knows how to deliver BMS projects.

A background working within M&E or construction-led environments would be particularly advantageous, although it isn't essential.
You'll need to be comfortable managing larger projects while balancing smaller works and other customer commitments.
Strong communication, organisation and commercial awareness are important.
And you'll ideally be based in Leeds or somewhere across Yorkshire, with the ability to travel to projects throughout the region.
We're particularly interested in speaking with people who take ownership of their work, enjoy building customer relationships and want to be part of a business that's continuing to develop.
