About Haringey
Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.
Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.
About The Role
We are looking for an experienced Engineering Supervisor to lead the day-to-day delivery of planned and reactive maintenance across our operational property portfolio. Reporting to the Engineering and Maintenance Manager, you will supervise a team of multi-skilled operatives delivering mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fabric maintenance services, ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard. You will play a key role in maintaining building performance, preserving assets, supporting statutory compliance and ensuring excellent service delivery across a diverse estate.
The role involves overseeing planned preventative maintenance programmes, coordinating reactive repairs, monitoring quality standards, supporting fault diagnosis, managing contractor activities and maintaining accurate records through CAFM systems. You will also contribute to service improvements, support the mobilisation of new buildings, assist with procurement and stock control, and provide leadership, guidance and development opportunities to your team, including apprentices.
