- Preventative maintenance: Implement an effective preventative maintenance programme to minimise unplanned downtime.
- Technical troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve technical problems efficiently across electrical, mechanical, air conditioning and domotic technology systems.
- Electronic workflows: Use our computerised maintenance management systems and CAFM systems to log, track and maintain equipment and spaces.
- Team leadership: Foster a culture of constant improvement and excellence through your own hands-on skills and setting high standards for the entire team.
- Safety and legal compliance: Adhere to all relevant UK legislation (including health and safety regulations) and ensure all systems meet necessary standards.
- Continuous improvement: Work to enhance energy efficiency and optimise equipment efficiency for long-term costs savings.
