We are recruiting for a Technical Lead to support a large healthcare facilities management contract.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Electrical Engineer, Maintenance Supervisor or Senior Engineer looking to take the next step into a technical leadership position. Previous experience in a formal Lead Engineer role isn't essential – we're happy to consider someone ready to step up.

Working remotely from home, you'll work closely with the Contract Manager and a team of four Contract Support colleagues, providing technical support and helping ensure maintenance works are delivered to the required standard.

Key responsibilities:

• Reviewing planned preventative maintenance (PPM) reports and remedial quotations.

• Assessing quotations and recommendations to ensure works are technically suitable and represent value for money.

• Providing technical guidance and support to the Contract Manager.

• Reviewing maintenance requirements and identifying any additional works required.

• Supporting the coordination and delivery of minor projects and small works.

• Working closely with the Contract Support team to ensure maintenance documentation and processes are kept up to date.

• Attending occasional site visits to support the wider contract.

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience as a Lead Engineer, Engineering Supervisor, Maintenance Supervisor or Senior Engineer.

• Strong electrical engineering background preferred, although multi-skilled engineers will also be considered.

• Good understanding of building services and facilities maintenance.

• Experience reviewing PPM schedules, remedial works and contractor quotations.

• Strong IT skills and confidence using systems, reports and spreadsheets.

• Good communication skills and the ability to work independently.

• Someone organised, proactive and comfortable taking ownership of technical responsibilities.

The package:

• £45,000 salary.

• Home-based / remote working.

• Travel expenses covered for monthly site visits.

• Monday to Friday working pattern.

• Opportunity to step into a technical leadership role without direct line management responsibilities.
