This is a static-site position, working alongside a team of six engineers with support from an on-site Manager, Supervisor and Administrators. You'll be part of a collaborative engineering team, with opportunities to develop your technical knowledge through practical, on-the-job training.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys solving technical problems and understands the importance of providing a reliable, professional service to our client.

What you'll be doing

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive maintenance across the building's mechanical and electrical systems.

• Maintain, inspect and troubleshoot HVAC plant, plumbing systems and associated building services equipment.

• Respond to plant failures and building management system (BMS) alarms, carrying out first-line fault diagnosis and repairs.

• Undertake routine plant inspections, operational checks and equipment changeovers to maintain reliable building performance.

• Complete statutory maintenance activities and escalate any compliance issues or outstanding works to the management team.

• Carry out minor repairs, maintenance and small installation works as required.

• Maintain accurate maintenance records, service reports, test documentation and statutory logbooks.

• Use simPRO to record completed maintenance tasks, including photographic evidence where required.

• Monitor subcontractors undertaking specialist maintenance or repair works, ensuring appropriate standards are maintained.

• Keep plant rooms and engineering areas clean, safe and well organised.

• Follow safe systems of work, including equipment isolation procedures within your training and competence.

• Communicate effectively with the client, building users and fellow engineers regarding maintenance activities and service interruptions.

• Participate in the 1-in-6 call-out rota and support occasional overtime where operationally required.

What we're looking for

Essential

• NVQ Level 3 or City & Guilds Level 3 qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Plumbing, Refrigeration, HVAC or a closely related building services discipline.

• Previous experience in a building maintenance or facilities management engineering role.

• Practical experience maintaining mechanical building services, including HVAC or plumbing systems.

• Understanding of planned and reactive maintenance in a commercial building environment.

• Ability to identify faults, carry out repairs and escalate more complex technical issues.

• Good awareness of health and safety procedures and statutory maintenance requirements.

• Strong communication skills and a professional, customer-focused approach.

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within an established engineering team.

• Willingness to participate in a 1-in-6 call-out rota.

Desirable

• Experience using a Building Management System (BMS) for monitoring and fault diagnosis.

• Familiarity with simPRO or other CAFM/maintenance management systems.

• Experience working in a static-site engineering team.

• Additional training or experience across multiple mechanical building services disciplines.

Your team and development

You'll join an established static-site team of six engineers, supported by a Manager, Supervisor and Administrators.

You'll have colleagues available to share technical knowledge, assist with more complex maintenance challenges and ensure that day-to-day operations run smoothly.

We support ongoing learning and development through practical on-the-job training, with opportunities to broaden your skills in line with the operational requirements of the site.
