Do you have a background in building services?

Perhaps you are an electrical engineer or a mechanical design manager looking to move away from project delivery and focus on inspiring, training and mentoring the next generation of people?

If you are passionate about getting the best out of people and working with them to realise their true potential, then maybe the role of technical capability manager is for you!

Our in-house MEP Engineering business, Crown House Technologies are looking for a technical capability manager or training manager to join the team. This is an important role where you would ideally be the ‘eyes and ears' of the Technical Leadership team and have a role in both implementing continuous improvement and feeding back required changes to them.

If you join us, you'll be a valued member of an industry leading business that can offer you an exciting and varied career with access to some truly great projects.
