A well-established Facilities Management operation is looking to add an experienced Maintenance Electrician to its engineering team, covering a portfolio of retail sites throughout Reading and the surrounding area.

This is a mobile position suited to an electrician who enjoys working across different locations rather than being based at a single site. Alongside your core electrical responsibilities, you will have the opportunity to get involved with wider maintenance activities and support other engineers when required.

You will be responsible for keeping sites operating safely and efficiently by carrying out a mixture of planned preventative maintenance, fault finding, repairs and reactive works across electrical and associated mechanical systems.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out scheduled PPM activities across the allocated retail portfolio.
• Responding to reactive maintenance requests and completing repairs within the required timescales.
• Diagnosing electrical faults and carrying out remedial works where appropriate.
• Assisting fellow engineers with larger maintenance projects and general site requirements.
• Undertaking minor repairs and maintenance tasks as part of the wider facilities function.
• Travelling to other locations within the local site cluster when additional engineering support is required.
• Making sure equipment, tools and materials are suitable and ready for use.
• Completing job sheets, maintenance records and associated documentation accurately.
• Updating the Mercury system with clear and timely information throughout each job.
• Working alongside client representatives and other contractors to maintain the required standards.
• Ensuring all work is completed in accordance with relevant procedures, KPIs and health & safety requirements.
• Maintaining a professional approach when representing the business on client sites.

To be considered, you'll need a recognised electrical qualification and a solid background in building or facilities maintenance.

Essential qualifications:

• NVQ/SVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation or Electrical Maintenance
• Recognised electrical apprenticeship or equivalent
• 17th or 18th Edition Wiring Regulations

Previous experience within commercial, retail or facilities maintenance would be advantageous.

• £42,115 per annum including standby payments
• Door-to-door paid travel time
• Overtime at 1.5x Monday-Friday
• Overtime at 2x Saturdays and Sundays
• 1 in 4 call-out rota
• Company vehicle with private use
• Private healthcare
• 33 days annual leave
• Life insurance
• Ongoing development and progression opportunities

This is an opportunity to join a well-established FM environment where you'll have a varied workload, work across multiple sites and have access to further development as your career progresses.
