The Opportunity

We are recruiting an experienced Technical Lifecycle Manager to join the on-site Technical Operations team of a major UK Facilities Management and infrastructure services provider, supporting one of the largest and most technically complex acute healthcare estates in the North West.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong Technical Services Manager, Technical Manager or Asset/Lifecycle Manager with extensive M&E building services experience who wants genuine technical ownership within a complex estate.

The role will ensure engineering assets, maintenance activities and lifecycle replacement programmes are technically correct, compliant, appropriately specified and safely integrated into a live 24/7 hospital environment.

The Role

As Technical Lifecycle Manager, you will provide technical assurance across both maintenance and lifecycle functions, developing a detailed understanding of the estate’s mechanical, electrical and building fabric assets.

Working closely with the Account Director, Lifecycle Project Managers, maintenance teams and specialist contractors, you will provide technical guidance from initial asset condition and maintenance review through design, specification, commissioning and final handover.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a key technical authority across the hospital estate, advising senior management, lifecycle and operational teams.
• Develop a detailed understanding of M&E and building fabric assets across the estate.
• Audit maintenance activities, PPM regimes, asset records, commissioning information and compliance documentation.
• Provide technical guidance throughout the development and delivery of lifecycle and capital replacement projects.
• Review technical designs and specifications and ensure solutions are appropriate for the existing infrastructure.
• Support the safe integration of new and replacement systems within a live hospital environment.
• Ensure lifecycle works consider clinical operations and minimise disruption to critical services.
• Technically assure commissioning and project handover.
• Maintain accurate lifecycle and asset-condition data.
• Develop lifecycle plans identifying asset condition, replacement priorities and programme requirements.

What We’re Looking For

We are particularly interested in technically strong M&E/building services professionals who have spent a significant part of their career working with complex engineering assets in critical environments.

You should have:

• Strong technical knowledge of mechanical and electrical building services, with an understanding of building fabric.
• Technical management experience within a large, complex estate.
• Experience within healthcare, PFI or another critical engineering environment.
• Experience auditing PPM, maintenance activity, technical documentation and compliance records.
• Good understanding of asset lifecycle management and planned replacement strategies.
• In-depth knowledge of HTMs and HBNs.
• Strong understanding of statutory compliance and engineering governance.

You should also have held Authorised Person (AP) responsibilities/qualifications within at least one relevant critical discipline, such as High Voltage, Ventilation, Water or another critical healthcare engineering system.

Why Consider This Role?

This position sits at the heart of engineering, compliance, maintenance, asset management and lifecycle investment.

You’ll work across a varied and technically challenging hospital estate, where legacy infrastructure and modern clinical environments must operate safely together 24/7.
