Mechanical Maintenance Engineer

As a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer, you will deliver high-quality planned preventative maintenance, reactive breakdown fault-finding, and minor installation works across a varied commercial estate.

This is a diverse, hands‑on mechanical role where no two days are the same. We are looking for an all‑round mechanical professional who combines strong HVAC/plant room engineering knowledge with extensive commercial plumbing and wet‑works maintenance experience.

• Commercial Mechanical Maintenance:
  Execute daily PPM schedules, reactive repairs, and system overhauls on a wide range of commercial mechanical infrastructure, ensuring maximum asset uptime and SLA compliance.
• Plant Room & HVAC Care:
  Monitor, service, and troubleshoot plant room equipment, including Air Handling Units (AHUs), fan coil units, pumps, booster sets, heating loops, and chilled water circuits.
• Commercial Plumbing & Drainage:
  Take absolute ownership of commercial wet‑works. Diagnose and repair defects across domestic and commercial hot/cold water systems, localized pipework pipelines, radiators, control valves, sanitaryware, and drainage networks.
• Water Hygiene & L8 Compliance:
  Conduct statutory water hygiene testing, including temperature monitoring, automated system flushing, and thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) servicing in strict accordance with ACOP L8 guidelines.

• Time‑served mechanical engineering background with a recognized qualification (City & Guilds / NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Mechanical Engineering, Heating & Ventilation, or Commercial Plumbing).
• Formal training in Water Hygiene / Legionella Awareness (ACOP L8) is highly desirable.
• Hot Water Storage Systems (G3 Unvented) or an active CSCS Card is a major advantage.
• A valid, clean UK Driving Licence is essential.

• Verifiable experience working as a Maintenance Engineer within a commercial facilities management environment (corporate offices, retail, hospitality, or public estates).
• Strong, multi‑trade competency in commercial plumbing installations, pipework repair, leak detection, and component changes (pumps, valves, actuators).
• Confident ability to read mechanical drawings, schematics, and technical asset logbooks.
• Meticulous eye for detail with a safety‑first mindset and a professional, customer‑focused approach when working in live tenant spaces.

• Highly competitive base salary with excellent overtime earning potential.
• Enrolment into an industry‑leading company pension scheme.
• Premium corporate benefits package including private healthcare pathways and employee discount structures.
• Direct access to manufacturer‑backed training courses (e.g., F‑Gas, electrical cross‑skilling, or advanced AP/RP pathways).
