In this role, your responsibilities are multifaceted, extending to overseeing district heating system upgrades, spearheading lift replacement programmes, and managing door entry systems replacements and electrical upgrades. A particular emphasis is placed on projects within the social housing sector, highlighting the need for your expertise in navigating the unique challenges and requirements of these environments. This role demands a deep understanding of both the technical and social dimensions of M&E projects, underlining the importance of experience in social housing to ensure successful project outcomes.
