About the Role

We're looking for a skilled Mechanical Maintenance Engineer to join a busy facilities engineering team responsible for maintaining a large, complex estate. You'll be delivering planned and reactive mechanical maintenance across a range of buildings, ensuring systems remain safe, compliant, and fully operational.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a technically varied environment and enjoys working independently while contributing to a wider engineering team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out planned preventative maintenance, testing, and reactive repairs on mechanical systems and plant.

  • Diagnose and repair faults on equipment including AHUs, FCUs, boilers, calorifiers, and general plantroom assets.

  • Work from technical drawings, specifications, and instructions without supervision.

  • Maintain plant rooms, workshops, and working environments to a high standard.

  • Record all work accurately using CAFM systems (e.g., Maximo or similar).

  • Support the development of safe systems of work and comply with all relevant regulations, including HTMs, Health & Safety legislation, and internal procedures.

  • Work safely at height using MEWPs, scaffolding, ladders, and other access equipment (training provided).

  • Respond to instructions via radio/PDA and adapt to changing priorities throughout the day.

  • Provide technical support to colleagues and contribute to continuous improvement across the engineering team.

  • Undertake training to work towards AP/CP responsibilities in areas such as medical gases, pressure systems, water, or ventilation.

What You'll Bring

  • City & Guilds (or equivalent) Mechanical Engineering qualifications.

  • Completed indentured apprenticeship or equivalent training.

  • Strong understanding of mechanical building services systems and plant.

  • Experience in a healthcare or PFI environment is beneficial but not essential.

  • Ability to work independently, interpret technical information, and solve problems effectively.

  • A proactive, open‑minded approach to learning new skills and supporting team performance.

  • Strong commitment to safe working practices and compliance.

What's on Offer

  • A stable, long‑term role within a large, multi‑disciplinary engineering team.

  • Ongoing training and development, including opportunities to gain AP/CP responsibilities.

  • A varied and technically interesting environment with real scope to grow your skills.

  • Supportive team culture focused on operational excellence and continuous improvement.
