• Complete PPM tasks in line with site schedules and compliance requirements.
• Support safe isolations, permits and contractor activities.
• Carry out routine plant inspections and condition checks.
• Record maintenance activity accurately through the site's CAFM system.
• Provide clear engineering handovers and communicate effectively with the wider team.
• Support emergency response procedures where required.
• Liaise with specialist contractors and external service providers.
• Maintain high standards of health & safety and operational compliance.

About You

• Level 3 qualification in Electrical, Mechanical or Building Services Engineering, or equivalent.
• Previous experience within commercial FM, banking, data centres, critical facilities or another technically demanding environment.
• Strong hands-on maintenance and fault-finding experience.
• Good understanding of mechanical and/or electrical building services.
• Experience with critical plant such as UPS, generators, BMS, HVAC or electrical distribution would be advantageous.
• Comfortable working a 7am-7pm days-only shift pattern.
