About the role

We’re looking for an experienced and qualified Multi-Skilled Engineer with an Electrical bias to join our Facilities Management engineering team.

Primarily based at our client site in Hemel Hempstead, you'll provide planned and reactive maintenance across a range of building services, taking ownership of electrical works while also using your wider M&E skills to help keep the site operating safely and efficiently.

This is a varied, hands-on role where you'll have the autonomy to diagnose problems and complete works within your competency, while being supported by an experienced Engineering Team Leader and wider Facilities Management team.

There will also be occasional requirements to support our other sites in Covent Garden, Milton Keynes and Loughborough, with travel expenses covered when working away from Hemel Hempstead.

What you'll be doing

Your responsibilities will include:

Responding to reactive maintenance requests from initial report through to completion

Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM)

Diagnosing and resolving electrical faults and building-services issues

Completing electrical installation and remedial works

Supporting a range of wider M&E maintenance, including mechanical, plumbing and HVAC issues within your competency

Carrying out statutory, regulatory, compliance and Health & Safety remedial works

Maintaining accurate job and maintenance records using Infraspeak

Keeping the client and Facilities Management team updated on the progress of works

Ensuring maintenance is completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard

Supporting and supervising specialist subcontractors carrying out planned and reactive works

Reviewing contractor RAMS and ensuring agreed safe working practices are followed

Checking and verifying completed contractor works

Providing technical M&E advice and support to the client where required

Planning works around client requirements to minimise disruption and downtime

Identifying opportunities to improve existing systems, processes and site reliability

Supporting the wider Facilities Management team when operational requirements demand it

We don't expect you to be an expert in every building-services discipline. Where work falls outside your competency, you'll escalate this to the Engineering Team Leader or Facilities Manager so the appropriate specialist support can be arranged.

What we're looking for

You'll be an experienced electrical engineer with a good understanding of wider building services and the confidence to work independently when required.

Essential qualifications

18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671)

City & Guilds 2357 NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation, or an equivalent recognised Level 3 electrical qualification

AM2

Previous electrical maintenance experience within a commercial, Facilities Management or building-services environment

Strong electrical fault-finding and problem-solving skills

Ability to carry out planned and reactive maintenance

Good understanding of safe working practices

Confident working independently and taking ownership of maintenance issues

Strong communication and client-facing skills

A flexible, practical and team-focused approach

Desirable

It would be particularly beneficial if you also hold:

City & Guilds 2391, 2394 or 2395 Inspection & Testing

IOSH Working Safely or Managing Safely

Wider mechanical/building-services maintenance experience

Your engineering team

You'll be a key member of a small, experienced site engineering team consisting of:

Multi-Skilled Engineer – Electrical Bias – this position

Mechanical/Multi-Skilled Engineer

Engineering Team Leader – Multi-Skilled with an Electrical bias

This structure means you'll have experienced technical support around you while still having the autonomy to take ownership of your own workload.
