ABOUT THE ROLE

• Were looking for an experienced Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join our Facilities Management engineering team.
• Primarily based at our client site in Hemel Hempstead, youll carry out planned and reactive maintenance across a range of building services, helping to keep the site safe, compliant and operating effectively.
• This is a varied, hands‑on position where youll use your core engineering skills alongside broader knowledge of mechanical, plumbing, HVAC and electrical building systems.
• You dont need to be an expert in every trade. Were looking for someone with a solid engineering background who is comfortable working across building services, understands the limits of their own competency and is confident escalating work when specialist support is required.
• Hemel Hempstead will be your main base, with occasional travel to our other sites in Covent Garden, Milton Keynes and Loughborough. Travel expenses will be covered when supporting these additional locations.

WHAT YOULL BE DOING

• Youll carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and respond to reactive maintenance requests, taking jobs from initial report through to completion.
• Your work will involve fault finding and resolving mechanical and general building‑services issues, alongside maintenance across plumbing, HVAC, plant and associated electrical systems. Youll also carry out minor installations, repairs, remedial works and compliance‑related maintenance within your competency.
• Youll maintain accurate job and maintenance records using Infraspeak and keep the client and Facilities Management team informed of completed works and outstanding actions.
• Youll also support and supervise specialist subcontractors, review RAMS, monitor safe working practices and verify completed contractor works.
• A key part of the role will be working around the clients operational requirements, helping to minimise disruption while identifying opportunities to improve building systems, processes and reliability.
• Where work falls outside your competency, youll have the support to elevate it to the Engineering Team Leader or Facilities Manager so the appropriate specialist support can be arranged.

• Youll have previous experience within Facilities Management, commercial building maintenance or building services, along with a recognised Level 3 engineering qualification.
• This could include a Level 3 qualification in plumbing, gas, mechanical engineering or another relevant building‑services discipline.
• Youll need good knowledge of mechanical and/or electrical systems within commercial buildings, experience of planned and reactive maintenance and strong fault‑finding and problem‑solving skills.
• Experience across HVAC, plumbing, plant, pumps, mechanical systems and general M&E maintenance would be particularly beneficial.
• Youll also need to be comfortable working independently, taking ownership of maintenance issues and communicating professionally with clients and colleagues.

YOUR TEAM

• Youll join a small and experienced engineering team based at Hemel Hempstead.
• The team is led by a Multi‑Skilled Engineering Team Leader with an electrical bias, with engineers working together across electrical, mechanical and wider building‑services maintenance.
• Youll have the freedom to manage your own workload while having experienced technical and operational support available when you need it. Youll also work closely with the wider Facilities Management team and specialist subcontractors.

ON-CALL

• The Hemel Hempstead site operates an out‑of‑hours callout rota currently shared between four members of the team.
• On‑call is covered for one week at a time outside normal business hours at the Hemel Hempstead site.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

• We actively encourage our engineers to continue developing their technical knowledge and careers.
• The existing team has been given opportunities to complete additional training including leadership development, IOSH Health & Safety training, technical qualifications, electrical Inspection and Testing and EV installation courses.
• Whether youre looking to broaden your technical capabilities or develop towards a future leadership position, well support your continued development.

WHY JOIN US?

• This role offers the variety of multi-skilled Facilities Management engineering while providing the stability of being primarily based at one site.
• Youll receive a salary of £38,000 – £40,000, Monday to Friday working, expenses when supporting other locations, ongoing training and development and the support of an established engineering team.
• If youre a qualified Multi‑Skilled Maintenance Engineer who enjoys solving problems, taking ownership of your work and delivering a professional service to clients, wed love to hear from you.
