Are you a hands‑on Building Services Engineer looking for a secure, long‑term opportunity on a high‑profile commercial site in Northampton? This is a fantastic chance to join a leading facilities management team that's just signed a five‑year contract extension — offering long‑term stability, career growth, and variety in your day‑to‑day work.

Working alongside a skilled team of engineers, you'll play a key role in maintaining the building's critical systems, supporting both electrical and mechanical plant. The ideal Building Services Engineer will have experience within facilities management or commercial maintenance, but the company is also open to candidates from other sectors who can demonstrate solid technical skills and a proactive attitude.

If you've got a background in maintenance, a keen eye for problem‑solving, and want to work as part of a supportive, forward‑thinking team, this could be your next step.

What's in it for you?

• Salary up to £40,000
• Monday to Friday - no weekends or call‑out
• 40‑hour working week with opportunities for overtime
• Long‑term, secure role on a newly extended five‑year contract
• Excellent training and upskilling opportunities
• Work as part of a large, experienced maintenance team

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out planned and reactive maintenance on mechanical and electrical systems
• Undertake fault diagnosis, repair and minor installations across plant and building services equipment
• Support ventilation and air‑handling maintenance tasks
• Ensure compliance with all site health and safety procedures
• Provide occasional cover at nearby sites when required (pool van provided)

What we're looking for:

• Proven experience as a Building Services Engineer, ideally within a commercial or FM environment
• Strong mechanical and electrical maintenance skills
• Experience maintaining ventilation plant.
• Relevant qualifications (C&G, NVQ, 18th Edition) desirable but not essential — attitude and experience matter most

Whether you're a qualified engineer or an experienced maintenance professional ready to step into the commercial FM world, this is an excellent opportunity to join a stable, growing business that invests in its people.
