    Description

    Overview


    Senior Operations Director - M&E / HVAC Contractor — Edinburgh | Mechanical & HVAC Focus. Exclusive Appointment with FM Search & Select. FM Search & Select are working exclusively with a long-established M&E contractor to appoint a Senior Operations Director to lead the next phase of the business.

    This is a business with over 25 years' trading history, a strong reputation within the FM and building services sector, and a culture built on technical excellence, service delivery, and long-term relationships. Following sustained growth, they are now looking for a senior operational leader to take ownership of day-to-day performance and future direction.

    Responsibilities

    • Take full responsibility for operational delivery across mechanical and HVAC contracts
    • Lead and develop senior managers, engineers, and support functions
    • Drive performance across service, maintenance, projects, and compliance
    • Apply strong technical judgement to decision-making across plant rooms, heating systems, controls, and mechanical infrastructure
    • Work closely with the owners to shape strategy, growth plans, and succession
    • Ensure robust financial control, forecasting, and margin protection
    • Maintain and strengthen relationships with key FM clients and partners

    About You

    • This role will only suit someone from a mechanical / HVAC background.
    • You will likely be:
    • A Senior Operations Director / Operations Director / Divisional Director within an M&E, FM or HVAC contractor
    • Technically grounded in commercial heating, HVAC systems, plant, plumbing, and controls
    • Comfortable leading complex operational teams and live contracts
    • Commercially astute, with experience managing P&L and operational risk
    • A visible, people-focused leader who values quality, service, and reputation

    Why This Opportunity Stands Out

    • Genuine senior leadership role within a respected mechanical business
    • Ability to shape the future direction of the company, not just run it
    • Strong, established client base with long-term FM relationships
    • Opportunity to step into a role with real influence and autonomy

    Interested, or know someone who should see this? All conversations will be handled in strict confidence.
