Step into a critical defense infrastructure role, managing high-level electrical compliance and leading site teams for a leading global Facilities Management provider.

Are you a senior M&E Engineer with a strong background in defense infrastructure and a deep understanding of military technical frameworks?

A leading company in the Facilities Management industry is urgently recruiting a permanent Senior M&E Engineer / Shift Supervisor to manage operations at a high-profile defense asset in Gloucestershire. This vital position sits at the heart of base compliance, technical delivery, and safety enforcement. Because this role manages critical infrastructure, having an established understanding of JSP375 protocols and a background in defense infrastructure is essential.

 If you are a rigorous, safety-minded technical leader looking for a rewarding, long-term career with fully funded progression into higher-level Authorised Person (AP) status, this urgent vacancy is your next step.
The Role As an M&E Engineer, you’ll:
  • Enforce Rigorous Compliance: Play a crucial role in ensuring all electrical and mechanical maintenance obligations are delivered on time and in full compliance with JSP375 standards.
  • Assess Competency & Author RAMS: Review and assess the technical competence of site personnel while producing high-quality Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) for complex operations.
  • Provide Professional Safe Systems Advice: Deliver expert internal advice regarding MoD Safe Systems of Work, identifying asset deficiencies and working closely with the Senior Management Team to protect estate safety.
  • Supervise & Coach Site Teams: Provide direct supervision, training assessments, and professional mentoring to Skilled Persons and technicians, ensuring they operate safely within stringent defense regulations.
  • Collaborate Across Stakeholders: Act as a core technical liaison between site operational teams, supply chain partners, contractors, and public sector stakeholders to ensure seamless operational delivery and carbon reduction initiatives.
You
