Where a task falls outside your competency youll have the support to escalate it to the Engineering Team Leader or Facilities Manager so the appropriate specialist contractor can be arranged.

Youll have previous experience working within Facilities Management commercial building maintenance or building services along with a recognised engineering qualification.

• A recognised Level 3 engineering qualification for example in plumbing gas mechanical engineering or another relevant building-services discipline

Broader experience across HVAC plumbing plant pumps mechanical systems and general M&E maintenance would be particularly beneficial.

Youll be a key member of a small experienced engineering team at Hemel Hempstead.

The team is led by an experienced Multi-Skilled Engineering Team Leader with an Electrical bias with engineers working together across electrical mechanical and wider building-services maintenance.

The structure gives you the freedom to manage your own workload while having experienced technical and operational support available when you need it.

Youll also work closely with the wider Facilities Management team and specialist subcontractors.

The Hemel Hempstead site operates an out-of-hours callout rota which is currently shared between four members of the team.

The on-call period runs for one week at a time covering emergencies outside normal business hours at the Hemel Hempstead site.

Joining the rota is a possibility as part of this role; however this can be discussed if participating in on-call isnt something youre looking to do.

Id definitely retain that wording in the advert because its much more attractive than simply stating 1 week in 4 on-call.

We actively encourage our engineers to continue developing their technical knowledge and careers.

Every member of the existing team has had opportunities to complete additional training with development tailored to both individual interests and business requirements.

This has included areas such as:

• Leadership development

• IOSH Health & Safety training

• Technical qualifications

• Electrical Inspection & Testing

• EV installation courses

• Broader building-services and engineering development

Whether youre looking to expand your technical capabilities or develop towards a future leadership position well support you in continuing to build your knowledge and experience.

This role gives you the variety of multi-skilled Facilities Management engineering while providing the stability of being primarily based at one site.

Youll have:

• A salary of

• MondayFriday working

• A primary base in Hemel Hempstead

• Expenses covered when supporting other locations

• An established engineering team around you

• Access to specialist contractor support

• Ongoing technical training and development

• Opportunities to broaden your engineering knowledge

• Potential longer-term career progression

If youre a qualified Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer who enjoys solving problems taking ownership of your work and providing a professional service to clients wed love to hear from you.

I think Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer is also a stronger external title than Facilities Multi-Skilled Engineer. It should capture people searching for Mechanical Maintenance Engineer / Multi-Skilled Engineer / Building Services Engineer / FM Engineer without incorrectly labelling the position as purely mechanical.
