You'll be responsible for maintaining mechanical and electrical systems, responding to faults and breakdowns, supporting statutory compliance, completing maintenance records, and ensuring all work is carried out safely and professionally. The role requires strong fault-finding ability, excellent communication skills, and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues before they impact building operations.

You'll also liaise with subcontractors, support site audits and inspections, maintain accurate documentation through SimPRO, and ensure plant rooms and service areas remain safe, compliant, and well maintained.

Following successful completion of probation, you'll participate in an out-of-hours call-out rota to support client requirements.

  • Monitoring HVAC systems to maintain comfortable building environments

  • Completing maintenance records, reports, and compliance documentation through SimPRO

  • Supporting statutory compliance and reporting any maintenance issues that could affect compliance requirements

  • Liaising with clients, occupiers, subcontractors, and colleagues in a professional manner

  • Conducting plant room inspections and general building services housekeeping

  • Identifying and reporting health & safety risks or potential operational issues

  • Supporting small installation works and minor projects where required

  • Participating in the out-of-hours call rota following successful completion of probation

What We're Looking For

Essential

  • City & Guilds Level 3 (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering

  • 18th Edition Wiring Regulations

  • Strong building services maintenance experience

  • Good understanding of electrical safe systems of work and current regulations

  • Experience carrying out maintenance, testing, and fault finding across building services equipment

  • Strong communication and customer service skills

  • Ability to work independently across multiple locations

Desirable

  • Mechanical building services experience

  • City & Guilds 2391 Inspection & Testing

  • IOSH Working Safely

  • PASMA and IPAF qualifications

  • Unvented Hot Water Systems training

  • Experience with BMS, generators, controls, ventilation systems, pumps, drainage systems, and associated building services plant

Team & Support Structure

You'll report directly to the Contract Manager and be supported by the Regional Director and wider engineering team. Engineers work closely together across the contract portfolio, sharing knowledge, technical support, and operational assistance when required.

Training & Development

Pareto FM and SOWGA are committed to investing in their engineers. Ongoing statutory and site-specific training is provided, helping you maintain compliance, develop your technical skills, and support future career progression opportunities within the business.

  • Diverse portfolio of high-profile London buildings
