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. You’ll 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.

Adhere to all health & safety procedures, including permit-to-work and RAMS
