They currently seek a multi-skilled shift leader with a strong mechanical engineering background to join one of their existing and long-held multi-tenant commercial sites close to Bond Street, Central London. Part of a team who deliver planned and reactive maintenance to building services and HVAC systems, the role will be working on a “days only” pattern, from 7am to 7pm and on a 4 on / 4 off split. Guideline salary for the position is circa £46-48k basic, with a £5k shift allowance. Extra remuneration is available in the form of a call-out rota, as well as overtime.

Along with core qualifications, additional training such as F-Gas, L8 / Cooling Tower training, current or previous Mechanical AP status, etc will all be beneficial. Particular day-to-day responsibilities will include :

• Maintaining a close liaison and working relationship with the Engineering Supervisor and Manager
• Attend all allocated training coursee
• Issue relevant site Permits as part of the Safe System of Work
• Completion of SFG20 PPMs and reactive tasks and update the system in order to meet contractual obligations.
• Ensure that daily checks are completed and repair or report any defects using the helpdesk or reactive works ticketing system
• Responsible for M&E stock control

• Comply with both statutory and company health, safety and environmental regulations and policies.
• Timely implementation and recording of all statutory inspections including accurate recording of electrical, fire and water hygiene records
• Where necessary be available to attend out of hours calls when required or when working the on-call shifts (including on public holidays)
• Control of 3rd party contractors including monitoring of work performance and standards, including internal auditing where applicable in conjunction with the Engineering Manager
• Ensure that Specialist Service Provider worksheets are signed off that quality of work is inspected and recommendations are escalated to the Engineering Manager / Supervisor
• Maintain the 100% uptime criteria
• Ensure that Plant areas, workshops, stores, changing / rest areas etc. are kept to the highest level of housekeeping
• Carry out regular 1 on 1 meetings and document performance reports with each member of your team and ensure they receive regular feedback on their performance and have the opportunity to discuss their ongoing development.

Will be expected to operate and trouble shoot on a range of building systems including but not limited to the following :

o BMS and electrical monitoring & associated controls systems

o Air handling, conditioning and terminal units – VAV and CRAC

o Water chillers

o Domestic water services

o Fire prevention and detection systems

o VESDA

o Fire suppression

o Variable speed drives

o AC, DC single phase and three phase motors

o Pumps & Motors

o Low voltage switch panels and associated breakers

This is a rare opportunity to join a well established and stable site, and perhaps for an existing shift leader to get away from a full 24 / 7 shift pattern and enjoy the benefits of working “days only”. This combines the best of both worlds, providing the time off that shift engineers come to expect while maintaining a regular sleep pattern. With a healthy salary, plus opportunity for further OT through shift cover and call-out, this is a standout role for one of the leading M&E organisations in the UK with a chance for future progression.
