Description:
As a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer, you will deliver high-quality planned preventative maintenance, reactive breakdown fault-finding, and minor installation works across a varied commercial estate.
This is a diverse, hands-on mechanical role where no two days are the same. We are looking for an all-round mechanical professional who combines strong HVAC/plant room engineering knowledge with extensive commercial plumbing and wet-works maintenance experience.
Key Responsibilities
*
Commercial Mechanical Maintenance: Execute daily PPM schedules, reactive repairs, and system overhauls on a wide range of commercial mechanical infrastructure, ensuring maximum asset uptime and SLA compliance.
*
Plant Room & HVAC Care: Monitor, service, and troubleshoot plant room equipment, including Air Handling Units (AHUs), fan coil units, pumps, booster sets, heating loops, and chilled water circuits.
*
Commercial Plumbing & Drainage: Take absolute ownership of commercial wet-works. Diagnose and repair defects across domestic and commercial hot/cold water systems, localized pipework pipelines, radiators, control valves, sanitaryware, and drainage networks.
*
Water Hygiene & L8 Compliance: Conduct statutory water hygiene testing, including temperature monitoring, automated system flushing, and thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) servicing in strict accordance with ACOP L8 guidelines.
Qualifications & Training:
*
Time-served mechanical engineering background with a recognized qualification (City & Guilds / NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Mechanical Engineering, Heating & Ventilation, or Commercial Plumbing).
*
Formal training in Water Hygiene / Legionella Awareness (ACOP L8) is highly desirable.
*
Hot Water Storage Systems (G3 Unvented) or an active CSCS Card is a major advantage.
*
A valid, clean UK Driving Licence is essential.
Experience Required:
*
Verifiable experience working as a Maintenance Engineer within a commercial facilities management environment (corporate offices, retail, hospitality, or public estates).
*
Strong, multi-trade competency in commercial plumbing installations, pipework repair, leak detection, and component changes (pumps, valves, actuators).
*
Confident ability to read mechanical drawings, schematics, and technical asset logbooks.
*
Meticulous eye for detail with a safety-first mindset and a professional, customer-focused approach when working in live tenant spaces.
What’s on Offer?
*
Highly competitive base salary with excellent overtime earning potential.
*
Enrolment into an industry-leading company pension scheme.
*
Premium corporate benefits package including private healthcare pathways and employee discount structures.
*
Direct access to manufacturer-backed training courses (e.g., F-Gas, electrical cross-skilling, or advanced AP/RP pathways).
