Job Description
Engineering Supervisor / Technical Lead
We’re looking for someone who knows their way around building services and enjoys being the go-to person on site. If you like a mix of hands-on problem solving, team leadership, and making things run smoothly day to day—this could be a great fit.
You’ll be the main point of contact for all things technical across the site, making sure maintenance (planned and reactive) is delivered properly and without fuss. You’ll lead a small team of engineers, keep contractors in check, and work closely with the client to keep standards high.
What you’ll be doing
No two days will be the same, but you’ll typically be:
* Keeping site services running safely and in line with regulations
* Acting as the first port of call for technical queries and support
* Leading and supporting a team of engineers to get the job done right
* Overseeing subcontractors and making sure they work safely and to standard
* Driving improvements—spotting ways to do things better, faster or smarter
* Helping price up and plan smaller engineering projects
* Managing maintenance systems, asset records and site documentation
* Supporting investigations when things go wrong and helping prevent repeat issues
* Getting involved in lifecycle planning and upgrades across the site
* Making sure new equipment is properly handed over and understood by the team
What we’re looking for
You don’t need to tick every box, but ideally you’ll have:
* A solid background in engineering, facilities, or technical services
* Experience leading or supervising a team
* Confidence managing contractors on site
* Good working knowledge of health & safety requirements
* Experience using maintenance systems (CMMS or similar)
* Strong organisation skills—you can juggle tasks and keep things on track
* The ability to read technical drawings and explain things clearly to others
The essentials
* Engineering apprenticeship (or equivalent experience)
* Level 3 qualification in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
* Qualified electrician or mechanical engineer
* Water hygiene / Legionella awareness
* Health & Safety knowledge
* Experience with BMS systems
* Full UK driving licence
Nice to have (but not essential)
* HV-LV experience
