Vertical Transportation Lead
Meet Our Recruiter
About the Role
We are working on a confidential basis with a well-established, multi-disciplinary consultancy to explore the creation of a Vertical Transportation (VT) team within their Manchester office.
This is not a replacement hire. This is a strategic growth move.
The Opportunity
Our client has a strong regional presence and national platform across:
- Commercial & mixed-use developments
- Residential (high-rise & BTR)
- Healthcare
- Education
- Large-scale regeneration schemes
There is clear demand from existing clients for in-house lift and escalator consultancy expertise, and leadership is committed to investing in this capability.
Rather than a single hire to “fill a gap,” this is an opportunity to:
- Establish and shape a dedicated VT service line
- Work closely with Project Management, Cost Management and Building Surveying teams
- Leverage an established client base and secured pipeline
- Influence long-term regional growth strategy
Who This Could Suit
We are keen to speak with:
- A Senior / Associate / Director-level VT Consultant
- An existing small VT team within a larger consultancy
- Or an independent vertical transportation specialist practice considering the benefits of a larger platform
You will likely bring:
- Strong technical expertise in lift and escalator design, specification and modernisation
- Experience advising across new build and refurbishment schemes
- Commercial awareness and the ambition to grow a regional offering
- Established client relationships within developers, contractors or asset owners
What’s On Offer
- Autonomy to shape your own service line
- National brand backing and cross-selling opportunities
- Investment commitment from senior leadership
- Clear pathway to senior regional leadership
All conversations will be handled in strict confidence.
If you are open to a discreet discussion about building something meaningful in Manchester, I would welcome a confidential conversation.
