This is a very forward-facing role and you will need to be a clear communicator with high levels of empathy and a sense of urgency.

- Carry out preventative and corrective maintenance while ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
- Coordinate subcontractors, maintain documentation, and ensure standards are met consistently.
- Maintain stock levels, contribute to operational records, and escalate unresolved issues before the end of each shift.
- Health, Safety & Compliance - Conduct regular building patrols to identify and resolve potential issues.
- Ensure compliance with Health & Safety legislation and internal policies.
- Follow fire and emergency procedures and attend all relevant training.
- Keep engineering areas safe, clean, and well-organized.
