Job description
Technical Support Manager - Construction / Consultancy
Midlands region
£52,000 + Car Allowance £5740 + 22% Pension + 44 Days Holiday + Hybrid Working + Career Development + £300 Wellness allowance
Are you currently working in a technical construction role such as building surveying, architecture, project management, or asset management?
Would you like to step away from day-to-day project delivery into a respected consultancy role where you can become a go-to advisor, work across a wide range of impactful projects, and enjoy true autonomy and flexibility?
This not-for-profit organisation has been setting the standard in procurement and construction for over 50 years. Known for their exceptional culture, they're a people-first business empowering staff, promoting from within, and offering an unbeatable work-life balance. With Gold Standard accreditation in Constructing Excellence, they are committed to delivering high-quality, community-driven outcomes across the public sector.
In this Midlands-based role, you'll act as the key technical link between public sector clients and appointed contractors (ApCos), ensuring that projects are delivered smoothly, efficiently, and to the highest technical standards. You'll handle site visits, project troubleshooting, and dispute resolution, while also supporting tender evaluations, technical audits, and stakeholder engagement. Weekly travel across the region is essential, as is a fixed office day every Wednesday in Uxbridge.
The ideal candidate will come from a construction delivery background such as building surveying, quantity surveying, architecture or project management and bring public sector experience, ideally within housing associations or local authorities.
You'll be confident managing stakeholders, resolving issues on site, and ensuring compliance across construction projects. A solid understanding of procurement frameworks, RIBA stages, and project lifecycles is essential, along with a professional, self-managed approach to your work. This is a role for someone who thrives on variety, autonomy, and making a visible impact.
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a nationally respected consultancy and step into a role that offers status, influence, and long-term development.
The Role:
*Act as a technical advisor and liaison between public sector clients and contractors.
*Ensure awarded construction projects run smoothly and meet compliance standards.
*Provide dispute resolution support to keep projects on track.
*Attend 2-3 meetings per week with clients and contractors (ApCos) across the Midlands.
*Conduct regular site visits and troubleshoot technical or delivery issues.
*Participate in tender evaluations, framework support, and technical audits.
*Represent the organisation at client meetings, industry events, and internal team days.
*Attend the Uxbridge office every Wednesday for team collaboration.
The Person:
*Technical background in Building Surveying, Quantity Surveying, Architecture and Construction Project Management
*Ideally have experience working with or for public sector bodies (housing associations, local authorities).
*Strong understanding of RIBA stages and construction lifecycles.
*Confident managing risk, compliance, and dispute resolution.
*Experience working with procurement frameworks and technical specs.
*Professional, well-presented, and confident dealing with senior stakeholders.
*Self-managed and comfortable handling a hybrid field-based schedule.
*Based in the Midlands and able to travel regularly across the region.
