Engineering Manager

Job Description

We’re looking for someone who knows their way around building services and enjoys being the go-to person on site. If you like a mix of hands‑on problem solving, team leadership, and making things run smoothly day to day—this could be a great fit.

You’ll be the main point of contact for all things technical across the site, making sure maintenance (planned and reactive) is delivered properly and without fuss. You’ll lead a small team of engineers, keep contractors in check, and work closely with the client to keep standards high.

No two days will be the same, but you’ll typically be:

• Keeping site services running safely and in line with regulations
• Acting as the first port of call for technical queries and support
• Leading and supporting a team of engineers to get the job done right
• Overseeing subcontractors and making sure they work safely and to standard
• Driving improvements—spotting ways to do things better, faster or smarter
• Helping price up and plan smaller engineering projects
• Managing maintenance systems, asset records and site documentation
• Supporting investigations when things go wrong and helping prevent repeat issues
• Getting involved in lifecycle planning and upgrades across the site
• Making sure new equipment is properly handed over and understood by the team

You don’t need to tick every box, but ideally you’ll have:

• A solid background in engineering, facilities, or technical services
• Experience leading or supervising a team
• Confidence managing contractors on site
• Good working knowledge of health & safety requirements
• Experience using maintenance systems (CMMS or similar)
• Strong organisation skills—you can juggle tasks and keep things on track
• The ability to read technical drawings and explain things clearly to others

• Engineering apprenticeship (or equivalent experience)
• Level 3 qualification in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
• Qualified electrician or mechanical engineer
• Water hygiene / Legionella awareness
• Health & Safety knowledge
• Experience with BMS systems
• Full UK driving licence Nice to have (but not essential)
  • HV-LV experience
