*

Carry out fault finding and reactive repairs across mechanical and electrical systems

*

Identify and escalate health & safety risks and plant reliability issues

*

Oversee plant operations including start-up, shutdown, changeover and optimisation

*

Conduct regular site walk-rounds to ensure safety, cleanliness and operational performance

*

Act as the key technical point of contact for the client and internal teams

*

Support small installation and repair works where required

*

Ensure all works are completed safely and within compliance standards

*

Maintain strong communication with management, reporting progress and issues

*

Support and mentor junior engineers on site

*

Participate in an on-call rota (1 in 8, post probation) with £200 weekly standby

Team Structure & Support

You will lead a team of 2 on-site engineers plus on-site contract support

Reporting directly to the Line Manager / Contract Manager

Supported by wider Pareto FM engineering and operations teams

Strong emphasis on collaboration, knowledge sharing and team development

Skills & Experience

Fully qualified in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (Level 2/3 or equivalent)

Strong experience within Building Services / M&E maintenance

Proven experience as a Lead Engineer or senior technical role

Strong understanding of building compliance and statutory maintenance

Pumps

*

Generators
