Job description

At CBRE, we do not just manage buildings, we power the infrastructure that keeps businesses moving. We are looking for a sharp, hands-on Technical Services Lead who bridges the gap between elite engineering and inspiring leadership.

If you are an experienced multi-skilled engineering lead with a passion for mentoring teams, optimising complex building services, and maintaining show-site standards, this is your next definitive career move on one of our most exciting technology accounts in the heart of London.

What Will You Do?

As our Technical Services Team Leader, you will be the heartbeat of our day-to-day engineering operations. You will split your time between strategic team leadership and technical, high-availability site precision.

  • Manage, mentor, and develop a dedicated team of engineers. You will handle everything from performance reviews and training plans to scheduling and leave management.
  • Act as a key site Safe System of Work champion (Authorised Person / Competent Person). You will oversee complex mechanical and electrical operations, plant room maintenance, and installations within strict Change Control processes.
  • Own the relationships with Specialist Subcontractors. You will review RAMS, inspect their work for flawless quality, and sign off on worksheets.
  • Drive SLA compliance for all planned and reactive maintenance (PPM and reactive tasks). You will keep our critical spares stocked, write concise technical reports, and optimise the building's overall energy efficiency.
  • Cultivate a safety-first environment. You will lead regular Toolbox Talks, drive Near Miss reporting, and conduct rigorous monthly and annual compliance audits.

What Are We Looking For?

We need a leader who is comfortable reading site drawings, mechanical schematics, and O&Ms as they are conducting a client presentation.

  • A strong technical foundation in Mechanical, Electrical, or Building Services Engineering, with relevant trade qualifications (e.g., City & Guilds, NVQ, or equivalent).
  • Experience working within formal Safe Systems of Work, ideally holding or having previously held Authorised/Competent Person status for critical services (e.g., HV/LV, Mechanical, Pressure Systems, or Water Hygiene).
  • Proven experience managing multi-skilled engineering teams, ideally within a high-availability or critical infrastructure environment, such as data centres, corporate HQs, or banking.
  • A leader who takes extreme ownership of plant rooms, anticipates operational risks before they happen, and thrives under SLA-driven environments.
  • Exceptional Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to liaise smoothly between your team, the Helpdesk team, CBRE management, and the client.

What Is in it for You?

  • Access to CBRE's world-class training programs, technical certifications, and a global network of opportunities.
  • Work in an environment that prioritises safety, continuous improvement, and rewarding top talent.
  • Comprehensive salary, benefits, and pension scheme.
Why CBRE

When you join CBRE, you become part of the global leader in commercial real estate services and investment that helps businesses and people thrive. We are dynamic problem solvers and forward-thinking professionals who create significant impact. Our collaborative culture is built on our shared values - respect, integrity, service and excellence - and we value the diverse perspectives, backgrounds and skillsets of our people. At CBRE, you have the opportunity to chart your own course and realize your potential. We welcome all applicants.
