About the role

We’re looking for an experienced and qualified Multi-Skilled Engineer with an Electrical bias to join our Facilities Management engineering team.

Primarily based at our client site in Hemel Hempstead, you'll provide planned and reactive maintenance across a range of building services, taking ownership of electrical works while also using your wider M&E skills to help keep the site operating safely and efficiently.

This is a varied, hands-on role where you'll have the autonomy to diagnose problems and complete works within your competency, while being supported by an experienced Engineering Team Leader and wider Facilities Management team.

There will also be occasional requirements to support our other sites in Covent Garden, Milton Keynes and Loughborough, with travel expenses covered when working away from Hemel Hempstead.

What you'll be doing

Your responsibilities will include:

• Responding to reactive maintenance requests from initial report through to completion

• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM)

• Diagnosing and resolving electrical faults and building-services issues

• Completing electrical installation and remedial works

• Supporting a range of wider M&E maintenance, including mechanical, plumbing and HVAC issues within your competency

• Carrying out statutory, regulatory, compliance and Health & Safety remedial works

• Maintaining accurate job and maintenance records using Infraspeak

• Keeping the client and Facilities Management team updated on the progress of works

• Ensuring maintenance is completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard

• Supporting and supervising specialist subcontractors carrying out planned and reactive works

• Reviewing contractor RAMS and ensuring agreed safe working practices are followed

• Checking and verifying completed contractor works

• Providing technical M&E advice and support to the client where required

• Planning works around client requirements to minimise disruption and downtime

• Identifying opportunities to improve existing systems, processes and site reliability

• Supporting the wider Facilities Management team when operational requirements demand it

We don't expect you to be an expert in every building-services discipline. Where work falls outside your competency, you'll escalate this to the Engineering Team Leader or Facilities Manager so the appropriate specialist support can be arranged.

What we're looking for

You'll be an experienced electrical engineer with a good understanding of wider building services and the confidence to work independently when required.

Essential qualifications

• 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671)

• City & Guilds 2357 NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation, or an equivalent recognised Level 3 electrical qualification

• AM2

• Previous electrical maintenance experience within a commercial, Facilities Management or building-services environment

• Strong electrical fault-finding and problem-solving skills

• Ability to carry out planned and reactive maintenance

• Good understanding of safe working practices

• Confident working independently and taking ownership of maintenance issues

• Strong communication and client-facing skills

• A flexible, practical and team-focused approach

Desirable

It would be particularly beneficial if you also hold:

• City & Guilds 2391, 2394 or 2395 Inspection & Testing

• IOSH Working Safely or Managing Safely

• Wider mechanical/building-services maintenance experience

Your engineering team

You'll be a key member of a small, experienced site engineering team consisting of:

• Multi-Skilled Engineer – Electrical Bias – this position

• Mechanical/Multi-Skilled Engineer

• Engineering Team Leader – Multi-Skilled with an Electrical bias

This structure means you'll have experienced technical support around you while still having the autonomy to take ownership of your own workload.

On-call

The Hemel Hempstead site currently operates an out-of-hours callout rota covered by four members of the team, with each on-call period lasting one week.

Joining the rota is a possibility as part of this role; however, this can be discussed if participating in on-call isn't something you're looking to do.

We'd rather have that conversation openly during the recruitment process.

Training & career development

We're committed to developing the technical and leadership capability of our engineering teams.

Upskilling is actively encouraged, and members of the existing team have been given opportunities to undertake additional development including:

• Electrical Inspection & Testing qualifications

• EV installation training

• IOSH Health & Safety training

• Leadership development

• Additional technical qualifications

Whether you're looking to broaden your technical capabilities or develop towards a future leadership position, we'll support you in continuing to build your knowledge and experience.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to join a supportive engineering team where you'll have the independence to take ownership of your work without being left to manage everything alone.

You'll have a primarily fixed base in Hemel Hempstead, exposure to a varied range of building services, opportunities to gain additional qualifications and the chance to continue developing your career within Facilities Management.

If you're a qualified Electrical Engineer with strong maintenance experience and a wider multi-skilled approach, we'd love to hear from you.
