Overview
We are recruiting on behalf of a leading facilities and critical environment services provider for an Engineering Technical Manager to oversee two prestigious critical sites — 4 days per week in South London/Surrey and 1 day per week in West London (Heathrow area).
This opportunity offers an excellent blend of strategic oversight and hands‑on technical leadership within a mission‑critical environment. The ideal candidate will live within a commutable distance of both sites.
About the Role
This role is suited exclusively to candidates with a proven background in critical environments — such as data centres, banking, trading floors, or high‑security 24/7 operations.
You’ll take responsibility for the safe and efficient operation of all engineering services, including HV/LV systems, UPS, BMS, and associated critical plant, while managing and developing a team of engineers and coordinating with specialist subcontractors.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and support day staff and shift engineers across two key client sites.
* Work closely with the Contract Manager, Technical Manager, and Engineering Supervisor.
* Oversee PPM schedules, reactive maintenance, and fault escalation for critical systems.
* Take full operational ownership of HV/LV infrastructure, UPS, and BMS systems.
* Manage contractor performance, compliance, and safety standards.
* Prepare and maintain reports, site audits, O&M documentation, logbooks, and permits.
* Support project works, system upgrades, and shutdown activities as required.
* Maintain excellent client relationships through clear communication and reliability.
Flexibility & Overtime
This position includes enhanced overtime pay for involvement in HV shutdowns, weekend interventions, and project‑based activities.
A flexible, proactive approach with the ability to attend site at short notice is expected.
Candidate Profile
* Proven experience in a critical environment (Data Centre or Financial Services essential).
* Strong people‑management and leadership skills.
* Recognised Electrical or Mechanical qualification (Apprenticeship / ONC / BTEC or equivalent).
* HV Authorised Person (or able to achieve quickly).
* Excellent organisational, communication, and reporting skills.
* Calm, methodical, and confident under pressure.
Additional perks:
• Potential travel allowance between sites
• Enhanced overtime payments
• Company pension
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
