This is an excellent opportunity to work across a prestigious portfolio of multi-block estates, including residential towers, communal podiums and complex plant infrastructure. The role is heavily focused on compliance-led maintenance, structured PPM delivery in line with SFG20 standards, and ensuring the ongoing performance and reliability of critical building services. Youll play a key role in maintaining and optimising mechanical systems, with a strong emphasis on fault finding, troubleshooting and asset performance, rather than purely installation work.

* Carry out plate heat exchanger maintenance and flushing
* Respond to plant failures and restore system functionality efficiently
* Support compliance-driven remedial works identified through maintenance activities
* Accurately record all works via CAFM/mobile systems, ensuring full compliance and audit trails
* Liaise professionally with site teams, contractors and residents
* Adhere to all health & safety procedures, including permit-to-work and RAMS
* Participate in a 1 in 4 on-call rota (post-probation)
What Were Looking For
* Qualified Mechanical Engineer (City & Guilds, NVQ or apprenticeship)
* Strong background in compliance-led maintenance within commercial or residential environments
* Solid understanding of building services systems (heating, cooling and domestic water)
* Proven experience with pipework systems and mechanical plant
* Experience working within structured PPM environments (SFG20 desirable)
* Strong fault-finding and diagnostic capability
* Good understanding of statutory compliance (pressure systems, water hygiene, etc.)
* Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and schematics
* Comfortable working in a foot-mobile role across Central London
* Confident using digital reporting/CAFM systems
Why Apply?
* Work across a high-end Central London portfolio
* Join a well-established and respected FM provider
* Exposure to complex, modern building services systems
* Stable, permanent role with clear structure and support
* Opportunity to develop within a professional, compliance-driven environment
