MEP Director

📍 Bristol

We're supporting a rapidly growing, multi-disciplinary property and construction consultancy in Bristol as they look to appoint an MEP Director to lead and expand their Building Services offering.

The business operates across the full development lifecycle - from early concept through to delivery - combining engineering, project management, cost consultancy and wider construction services into a fully integrated offering. Their model is highly collaborative, commercially driven, and focused on delivering efficient, coordinated solutions for developer-led projects.

With multiple UK offices including Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, Cardiff and Birmingham, the business continues to expand its regional presence and capability across key development hubs.

The Role

As MEP Director, you will take ownership of the Building Services function in Bristol, leading delivery and building a high-performing mechanical and electrical engineering team over time.

You will:

Lead MEP design delivery across a wide range of development-led projects
Work closely with internal disciplines including project management, cost consultancy, and civil/structural engineering
Provide technical leadership and ensure consistent quality, coordination, and commercial awareness
Be involved early in projects from feasibility through to delivery stages
Help shape the long-term strategy and growth of the Building Services offering in the region
