Mechanical Engineer

Location: Woking
Contract: Permanent

We are recruiting for a Site Mechanical Engineer to join an established engineering and facilities team based in Woking.

This opportunity could be particularly well suited to a Service leaver or veteran with a mechanical engineering background looking to transition their military engineering experience into a commercial facilities environment.

Previous facilities management experience is not necessarily required. We are interested in engineers who can demonstrate strong mechanical maintenance capability, practical fault-finding skills and experience working safely on complex equipment and systems.

Working as part of the on-site engineering team, you will support the planned and reactive maintenance of mechanical building services and equipment.

Responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM)
• Responding to reactive mechanical faults and breakdowns
• Fault finding, diagnosis and first-line repairs
• Inspection and maintenance of mechanical plant and associated equipment
• Monitoring plant performance and identifying potential defects
• Completing maintenance records and associated documentation
• Supporting contractors and specialist engineers where required
• Ensuring work is completed in accordance with site health and safety procedures
• Supporting the wider engineering team to maintain a safe and reliable site

We would particularly like to hear from candidates with mechanical engineering or maintenance experience gained within:

• REME
• Royal Engineers
• Royal Navy / Royal Marines
• Royal Air Force
• Other Armed Forces engineering and technical trades

Relevant experience could include:

• Mechanical plant and equipment maintenance
• Pumps, motors, valves and associated systems
• Hydraulics and pneumatics
• Planned and preventative maintenance
• Breakdown response and fault diagnosis
• Engineering inspections
• Working under permit or safe systems of work
• Technical documentation and maintenance records

Your experience does not need to have been gained within a commercial building or facilities environment.

You should have:

• A recognised mechanical engineering qualification or relevant military engineering training
• Strong practical mechanical maintenance experience
• Experience carrying out planned and reactive maintenance
• Good fault-finding and problem-solving capability
• A strong understanding of engineering safety
• The ability to work effectively as part of an on-site engineering team
