Job description

Mobile Maintenance Engineer – Electrical Bias

Facilities Management | Mobile Engineering | PPM & Reactive Maintenance

We’re looking for a qualified Mobile Maintenance Engineer with an Electrical bias to join our established Facilities Management engineering team.

Working across a portfolio of client sites, you’ll be responsible for planned and reactive maintenance, electrical fault finding and repairs, helping to keep our clients’ buildings, plant and electrical systems safe, compliant and operating effectively.

You’ll have the independence and variety that comes with a mobile engineering role, while being part of an established engineering team with plenty of technical and operational support around you.

What you'll be doing

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive maintenance across client sites

• Electrical fault finding, diagnosis and repairs

• Maintaining electrical systems, lighting, small power, switchgear and associated building services

• Supporting the maintenance of HVAC plant and wider mechanical and electrical systems

• Responding to BMS alarms and carrying out first-line fault diagnosis

• Carrying out minor repairs, maintenance and installation works

• Completing maintenance records, service reports and compliance documentation

• Using simPRO to update jobs and record completed maintenance activities

• Ensuring plant rooms and engineering areas are maintained safely and to a high standard

• Identifying and reporting potential hazards, defects and outstanding statutory maintenance

• Liaising with subcontractors carrying out specialist works

• Communicating effectively with clients, end users and the wider engineering team

• Ensuring all work is carried out safely and in accordance with relevant electrical regulations and company procedures

Although this is an electrically biased position, we're looking for someone with a flexible approach who is happy to support the wider team with general building-services maintenance where appropriate.

What we're looking for

You'll need previous experience working within Facilities Management, building services or commercial maintenance, together with strong electrical maintenance and fault-finding skills.

Essential qualifications and experience:

• City & Guilds / NVQ Level 3 electrical qualification

• 17th and 18th Edition Wiring Regulations

• Previous electrical maintenance and fault-finding experience

• Experience carrying out planned and reactive maintenance

• Good understanding of electrical safe working practices

• Strong communication and customer-service skills

• Ability to work independently across multiple client sites

• Good organisational skills and the ability to prioritise your workload

Additional experience or qualifications in IPAF, PASMA, L8/water hygiene, BMS and controls, generators, HVAC/building services, pumps, pressurisation systems and ventilation would be advantageous.

Your team

You'll join an established team of seven Mobile Engineers, working alongside a wider team of Static Engineers.

You'll also have support from four Supervisors and four Contract Managers, so although you'll work independently across client sites, you won't be operating in isolation.

Regular meetings are held between engineers and management, alongside a dedicated team WhatsApp group for day-to-day communication, technical advice and support.

Callout

The role participates in an out-of-hours callout rota of approximately 1 week in 7.

You'll receive a £200 standby payment for the on-call week, plus additional callout payments where applicable. Additional overtime may also be available depending on client and business requirements.

Training & progression

We want our engineers to continue developing their careers.

You'll have access to training and development opportunities to broaden your technical skills, alongside opportunities to progress within the wider Engineering and Facilities Management team.

For engineers looking to take the next step, there are opportunities to develop towards senior engineering and supervisory positions as your experience grows.

Join the team

This is a great opportunity for a qualified Electrical Engineer who enjoys the variety and independence of mobile engineering but also wants the support of an established FM team around them.
