Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Pure Engineering Services are looking for an experienced Resident Mechanical / Air Conditioning Maintenance Engineer to join our team working on an established commercial maintenance contract.

This is predominantly a site-based role looking after a varied range of building services plant, with the majority of work centred around Windermere and Kendal and Handforth

We are happy to consider engineers living up to around an hour from the main sites, with travel time paid Home to Home.

We are looking for somebody who is a strong all-round engineer, comfortable with planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance and fault finding, and who takes ownership of the buildings and equipment they look after.

• Supply and extract fans
• Pumps and circulating systems
• Heating and chilled-water systems
• BMS / control panels and associated controls
• General mechanical building services plant

You’ll be working across a varied range of commercial air-conditioning and mechanical systems, so a good all-round understanding of building services plant and strong fault-finding skills are important.

Specialist equipment such as gas boilers and other statutory or specialist services are maintained by specialist contractors and are not expected to be serviced by the resident engineer.

• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance
• Responding to reactive faults and breakdowns
• Fault finding on mechanical and air-conditioning systems
• Carrying out minor repairs and remedial works
• Identifying defects and potential failures
• Checking plant operation and general condition
• Liaising with specialist subcontractors where required
• Supporting visiting contractors and engineers
• Maintaining accurate service records and job sheets
• Producing clear reports detailing faults, and actions taken
• Producing clear reports detailing faults, actions taken and recommendations
• Liaising directly with the client’s site team
• Keeping plant areas and work areas clean, safe and presentable
• Escalating issues to the PES Service Team where additional technical support is required

We’re interested in candidates with experience as a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer, Air Conditioning Engineer, HVAC Engineer, Building Services Engineer or Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer.

• Good mechanical and commercial air-conditioning knowledge, including experience with VRF/VRV, split systems, AHUs and ideally close control systems such as Denco
• Strong fault-finding ability
• Fgas Cat 1
• Experience working within commercial buildings
• Experience with both PPM and reactive maintenance
• Knowledge of pumps and associated mechanical systems
• Basic electrical fault-finding ability
• The ability to work independently and manage your own workload
• A professional approach when dealing directly with clients
• Full UK driving licence
• Relevant mechanical, air-conditioning or building-services qualifications would also be beneficial.

This role would suit somebody who likes having ownership of their sites and building a good understanding of the plant and systems they look after.

We are not simply looking for someone to work through a PPM sheet and move on. We want an engineer who notices when something isn’t right, investigates problems properly and communicates clearly with both the client and the PES service team.

You’ll have the support of the wider PES…
