Proven experience as an Engineering Supervisor, Maintenance Supervisor, Technical Supervisor, Mechanical Supervisor, Water Services Supervisor or similar
Experience managing and directing engineers within a busy maintenance environment
Strong experience of PPM and reactive maintenance
Excellent organisation, planning and resource management skills
Experience managing high volumes of maintenance jobs and ensuring works are closed out correctly
Strong attention to detail, particularly around paperwork, records and compliance
Experience working in a critical or regulated environment, such as healthcare, NHS estates, pharmaceutical, life sciences, laboratories or data centres
Strong communication and leadership skills

Desirable Experience

Any of the following would be particularly beneficial:

Water management / water hygiene
L8 / ACOP L8
HTM 04 / HTM 04-01
Legionella management
Healthcare estates
NHS or hospital environments
CAFM / CMMS systemsDirect water services experience is not essential if you can demonstrate strong engineering leadership, workload management and compliance experience within a critical environment.

Why Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced engineering supervisor to take responsibility for a busy maintenance operation at a major London healthcare facility.

The initial appointment is expected to be 3 to 6 months, with the potential for the position to develop into a permanent opportunity for the right person.
