They want to recruit static mechanical/electrical engineers to help run this contract. The team will be backed up by mobile Heating, Chiller and mechanical engineers as required. We believe great companies are powered by great people and led by inspired leaders; you will need to demonstrate high levels of craftsmanship and knowledge, the ability to work alone on a wide range of equipment and to supervise others when needed. An eye for detail and quality is important to deliver the best for our clients.

One of our key selling points is that we don\'t just go through the motions with planned maintenance but instead look for ways to continually improve asset performance. We have some of the best market-leading optimisation software on the market that stands us apart from our competition, which is important, but we need the best engineers onboard to help us find and deliver exceptional results.
