Maintenance Engineer
We established Pareto Facilities Management to create the most service focused, customer centric, facilities management company in the UK.
Location: London Zoo, Regent’s Park
Salary: Up to £38,000
Build something extraordinary — in one of London’s most iconic locations
Imagine starting your day surrounded by historic architecture, world-leading conservation work, and some of the most fascinating animals on the planet. At London Zoo, no two days are the same — and neither is the environment you’ll help care for.
We’re looking for a Multiskilled Engineer or Maintenance Foreman with a strong fabric background to join the on-site team, helping to maintain and improve the buildings, enclosures, and public spaces that support animal welfare, conservation, and unforgettable visitor experiences.
This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in their craft, enjoys variety, and wants to work somewhere truly unique.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll play a vital role in keeping the Zoo running safely, smoothly, and beautifully by:
Delivering planned and reactive fabric maintenance across the site
Carrying out a wide range of works, including:
Carpentry and joinery
Bricklaying and blockwork
Paving, slab laying, and groundworks
General building repairs
Supporting minor painting and decorating tasks when required
Assisting with basic plumbing or mechanical works where appropriate
Responding professionally and promptly to maintenance requests
Ensuring all work meets high quality standards, site procedures, and specifications
Maintaining a safe, clean, and well-organised working environment
Completing job reports, permits, and documentation accurately
Working closely with site management, subcontractors, and other trades
All while representing Pareto FM and ZSL with professionalism and pride in a high-profile, public-facing environment.
What we’re looking for
You’ll be someone who:
Has previous experience in a similar multiskilled or fabric-focused role
Brings strong time management and organisational skills
Communicates clearly, works well with others, and shows initiative
Understands the built environment and takes a proactive, problem-solving approach
Has a solid grasp of health & safety regulations and works safely at all times
Delivers excellent customer service with a polite, professional manner
Takes pride in doing things properly — even the details people don’t always see
Is keen to learn, develop, and grow alongside a supportive team
Why this role is different
Work on-site at London Zoo, one of the UK’s most loved attractions
Be part of a setting that supports conservation, education, and animal welfare
Enjoy a role with real variety, purpose, and visible impact
Join a collaborative team where your skills genuinely matter
If you’re a skilled fabric engineer who wants more than “just another site” — this could be the role that makes you proud of where you work.
