In this role, you will lead the delivery of hard FM services across a technically complex site, managing the full PPM and reactive maintenance programme and overseeing the performance of a team of 6 shift engineers. You’ll ensure operational excellence, compliance, and seamless service across all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and air-conditioning systems.

• Conduct regular site audits and maintain an effective assurance and compliance regime
• Oversee and monitor additional small works and subcontractor performance
• Support FM reporting, operational planning, and performance tracking against KPIs & SLAs

Essential Qualifications/Skills

• Proven track record delivering PPM/reactive programmes and managing KPIs and SLAs
• Experience managing multi-disciplinary engineering teams, ideally within a technical or critical environment
• Strong understanding of SFG20, CDM, statutory compliance, and HSE requirements
