Technical Publications Manager – Building Services Engineering (Hybrid, Berkshire)

Location: Berkshire (Hybrid – 2 days per week in the office)
Hours: Full-time or Part-time considered
Contract: Permanent

Also suitable for Senior Building Services Engineers with technical writing or guidance experience.

Are you a technically credible Building Services / MEP / HVAC Engineer ready to influence industry best practice?

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced building services professional to move into — or further develop within — a knowledge-led, high-impact role shaping technical guidance for the sector.

You may already have experience as a Technical Author, Technical Consultant, Associate Engineer, Engineering Manager, or you could be a senior engineer looking to step away from project delivery and into a more strategic, industry-facing position.

The Role

You will take ownership of technical publication projects from concept through to release, ensuring quality, accuracy, relevance and commercial alignment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing and managing a technical publications roadmap
• Gathering industry intelligence and identifying emerging guidance needs
• Project managing publications from inception to production
• Authoring and contributing to technical guidance within your area of expertise
• Reviewing, editing and quality-checking technical content
• Working with industry stakeholders and steering groups
• Supporting delivery of content via webinars, articles and training
• Staying ahead of industry trends, standards and innovation

About You

You will have:

• An engineering qualification in Building Services Engineering or a related discipline
• Practical experience in the design, installation, commissioning or operation of building services systems
• Strong technical writing, reporting or documentation skills (publications, reports, bids, guidance, web content)
• Excellent attention to detail and editorial standards
• The ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously
• Credibility and a strong network within the building services industry

Experience in technical publications, lecturing, presenting or industry guidance writing is advantageous — but deep sector expertise is essential.

Why Apply?

• Hybrid working (2 days per week in Berkshire office)
• Open to full-time or part-time professionals
• High-impact, industry-influencing role
• Opportunity to step into thought leadership
• Work at the centre of technical excellence in building services

If you're ready to use your building services expertise in a more strategic, knowledge-driven capacity — we’d love to hear from you.
