Mobile Building Engineer
Location: HMP Lindholme (covering South Yorkshire). Contract: Permanent, Full Time. Salary: Between £31,792.00 - £33,381.60 base + £500 per additional skill (up to 6). Hours: 39 hours per week, 08:00–17:00 (1 in 4 weekends on a rota + 15% allowance). Additional: Company van, fuel card & call‑out rota.
About the role
As a Mobile Building Engineer, you’ll work across multiple Ministry of Justice sites as part of a professional, security‑cleared facilities team. You’ll carry out a mix of planned and reactive maintenance, supporting critical systems and responding to site needs as required. No two days are the same. You’ll have the autonomy to manage your workload, the backing of a long‑term contract, and the tools you need to do the job properly — including a company van and fuel card.
Key responsibilities
* Delivering planned and reactive building maintenance across multiple sites
* Acting as an Authorised Person (AP) in one or more disciplines (training provided)
* Ensuring full compliance with Amey, MOJ and HMPPS procedures
* Following strict security and tool control protocols
* Supporting escorting duties where required
* Working as part of an on‑call and weekend rota
What you’ll bring
* A full UK driving licence (essential)
* A relevant NVQ or trade qualification within a building or maintenance discipline
* Experience working independently and using initiative
* Knowledge of building compliance and safety standards (training available)
* Experience in fire door maintenance
* Experience in fire extinguishers & fire alarm core points
* Experience in emergency lighting
* Experience in RCDs
* Experience in water temperature testing
* IT literacy and basic health & safety knowledge
Don’t worry if you don’t tick every box. If you have transferable skills and the right attitude, we’ll support you with training and development — including progression into AP responsibilities and confined spaces. Experience in a custodial or secure environment is desirable, but not essential.
Security clearance
This role is subject to Prison Security Clearance and DBS checks. Amey will fully support you through the process.
