Are you a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer or Commercial Plumber looking for a secure, long-term role with exceptional benefits and career progression?

Do you want to work across a diverse estate where no two days are the same while receiving ongoing training towards higher technical authorisations?

This is an opportunity to join the Estates & Facilities team of a large, well-established organisation that invests heavily in both its infrastructure and its people. Supporting a complex estate of commercial buildings, teaching facilities, accommodation and specialist environments, you'll play a key role in keeping essential mechanical services operating safely and efficiently.

You'll receive full support to progress towards Competent Person (CP) and Authorised Person (AP) status, gaining specialist qualifications and increasing your technical responsibilities as your career develops.

Whether you're currently working in commercial maintenance, facilities management or mechanical building services, this is an excellent opportunity to step into a role that offers long-term security, technical variety and one of the best work-life balance packages available within the sector.

The Role

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance and reactive repairs across a large commercial estate
• Diagnose faults and maintain heating, hot water, ventilation and mechanical building services
• Support statutory compliance and planned maintenance programmes
• Work on a varied portfolio of buildings and plant equipment
• Join a collaborative and supportive maintenance team
• Receive structured training towards Competent Person (CP) and Authorised Person (AP) status
• 36-hour working week with rotating early and late shifts
• Optional on-call opportunities with additional payments

The Person

• NVQ Level 2, City & Guilds or equivalent in Plumbing, Mechanical Engineering or Mechanical Installations
