Mobile Maintenance Engineer – Mechanical Bias

Facilities Management | Mobile Engineering | PPM & Reactive Maintenance

About the role

We’re looking for a qualified Mobile Maintenance Engineer with a Mechanical 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, mechanical fault finding and repairs, helping to keep our clients’ buildings, plant and building-services systems safe, compliant and operating effectively.

You’ll be joining a well-established mobile and static engineering team, with plenty of technical and operational support around you.

Although this is a Mechanical 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 you'll be doing

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

• Diagnosing mechanical faults and carrying out repairs to building-services systems and equipment.

• Maintaining mechanical plant including pumps, pressurisation systems, ventilation systems and associated equipment.

• Supporting the maintenance and first-line fault finding of HVAC plant and systems.

• Responding to BMS alarms and using building systems to support fault diagnosis.

• Carrying out minor repairs, maintenance and installation works.

• Supporting water hygiene and L8 compliance activities where required.

• Completing maintenance records, service reports and compliance documentation accurately and on time.

• 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 specialist subcontractors and supporting access and works where required.

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

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

What we're looking for

You’ll need previous experience working within an FM, building services or commercial maintenance environment, with strong practical mechanical maintenance and fault-finding skills.

Essential

• City & Guilds Level 3 Mechanical qualification.

• Previous mechanical maintenance experience within an FM, building services or commercial maintenance environment.

• Experience carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive maintenance.

• Strong mechanical fault-finding and repair skills.

• Good understanding of mechanical building-services systems and 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.

• A flexible approach to supporting wider building-services maintenance where required.

• Willingness to participate in the out-of-hours callout rota.

Desirable

It would also be beneficial if you hold or have experience with:

• HVAC systems.

• Pumps and pressurisation systems.

• Ventilation systems.

• BMS and controls.

• L8 / water hygiene.

• Generators.

• Wider building-services maintenance.

• Basic electrical maintenance knowledge.

• IPAF.

• PASMA.

Your team

You’ll join a 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 be working independently across client sites, you won’t be operating in isolation.

The team holds regular monthly meetings between engineers and management, alongside a dedicated team WhatsApp group for day-to-day updates, technical advice and support.

Callout & overtime

The role participates in an out-of-hours callout rota of 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. You’ll have access to training programmes and opportunities to broaden your technical skills, alongside career-development opportunities within the wider Engineering and Facilities Management team.

For engineers looking to progress their careers, there are opportunities to develop towards more senior engineering and supervisory positions as your experience grows.

Join the team

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

If you have strong mechanical maintenance and fault-finding experience and are looking for your next opportunity within Facilities Management, we’d love to hear from you.
