Location: East Anglia (Peterborough, Cambridge, Norfolk)

Our Regional Managers provide support to our Engineers, Senior Engineers, and our Technical Team. They are a vital resource to ensure HSB Engineering continues to provide its industry leading levels of service to our customers.

Job Purpose

As a Regional Manager you will lead a team of Engineering Surveyors within a designated geographical area, providing motivational leadership and guidance to deliver high quality services that exceed customer expectations. Our Engineers provide inspections services to customers on site. These inspections ensure we support our customers obligations around regulatory compliance and help keep their staff and customers safe. As a Regional Manager you will work closely with the Operations Managers to ensure the effective delivery of contracts, meeting all service level agreements, and contributing to the overall success of the business.

Key Responsibilities

At HSB, our People are at the heart of what we do. Our customers remain loyal because of the skill and service that our Engineers provide daily and we are proud of our current retention rate at over 93%.

A typical Region has around 25 Engineers and is supported by a Technical Trainer and the Principal Engineering Team. You will have full responsibility including P&L for your Region. Your previous experience in managing all aspects of team performance will be well developed so prompt action will ensure our service is continuity maintained. You excel at managing resource capacity against workload. Forward planning to maintain “on time” service delivery to customers is something you are used to doing.

Your recruitment skills supported by the recruitment team will be well honed ensuring you are always “in front” of your growth requirements. Proactive management of Campaigns is an important task. HSB believes safety is the number one priority and your support in a Regional Duty Manager roster is required as part of the role from time to time.
