Hours: 40 hours per week, Monday–Friday

About the role
We’re looking for an experienced Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join our Facilities Management engineering team.
Primarily based at our client site in Hemel Hempstead, you'll carry out planned and reactive maintenance across a range of building services, helping to keep the site safe, compliant and operating effectively.
This is a varied, hands-on position where you'll use your core engineering skills alongside broader knowledge of mechanical, plumbing, HVAC and electrical building systems.
You don't need to be an expert in every trade. We're looking for someone with a solid engineering background who is comfortable working across building services, knows the limits of their own competency and is confident bringing in specialist support when required.
While Hemel Hempstead will be your main base, you'll occasionally support our other sites in Covent Garden, Milton Keynes and Loughborough, with additional travel expenses covered.
What you'll be doing
Your responsibilities will include:
- Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) across building services and plant
- Responding to reactive maintenance requests from initial report through to completion
- Fault finding and resolving mechanical and general building-services issues
- Supporting maintenance across plumbing, HVAC, mechanical and associated electrical systems
- Carrying out minor installations, repairs and remedial works within your competency
- Completing statutory, regulatory, compliance and Health & Safety remedial works
- Maintaining accurate maintenance and job records using Infraspeak
- Keeping the client and Facilities Management team updated on works and outstanding actions
- Ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard
- Supporting and supervising subcontractors carrying out planned and reactive works
- Reviewing contractor RAMS and ensuring appropriate safe working practices are followed
- Checking and verifying completed contractor works
- Providing technical M&E advice and support where appropriate
- Planning maintenance around the client's operational requirements to minimise disruption and downtime
- Identifying opportunities to improve building systems, processes and reliability
- Supporting the wider Facilities Management team when required
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Where a task falls outside your competency, you'll have the support to escalate it to the Engineering Team Leader or Facilities Manager so the appropriate specialist contractor can be arranged.
What we're looking for
You'll have previous experience working within Facilities Management, commercial building maintenance or building services, along with a recognised engineering qualification.
Essential
- A recognised Level 3 engineering qualification, for example in plumbing, gas, mechanical engineering or another relevant building-services discipline
- Good knowledge of mechanical and/or electrical systems within commercial buildings
- Experience carrying out planned and reactive maintenance
- Good fault-finding and problem-solving skills
- Understanding of safe working practices within an engineering environment
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of maintenance issues
- Strong communication and client-facing skills
- A flexible, practical and team-focused approach
Broader experience across HVAC, plumbing, plant, pumps, mechanical systems and general M&E maintenance would be particularly beneficial.
Your engineering team
You'll be a key member of a small, experienced engineering team at Hemel Hempstead.
The team is led by an experienced Multi-Skilled Engineering Team Leader with an Electrical bias, with engineers working together across electrical, mechanical and wider building-services maintenance.
The structure gives you the freedom to manage your own workload while having experienced technical and operational support available when you need it.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll also work closely with the wider Facilities Management team and specialist subcontractors.
On-call
The Hemel Hempstead site operates an out-of-hours callout rota which is currently shared between four members of the team.
The on-call period runs for one week at a time, covering emergencies outside normal business hours at the Hemel Hempstead site.
Joining the rota is a possibility as part of this role; however, this can be discussed if participating in on-call isn't something you're looking to do.
Training & career development
We actively encourage our engineers to continue developing their technical knowledge and careers.
Every member of the existing team has had opportunities to complete additional training, with development tailored to both individual interests and business requirements.
This has included areas such as:
- Leadership development
- IOSH Health & Safety training
- Technical qualifications
- Electrical Inspection & Testing
- EV installation courses
- Broader building-services and engineering development
Whether you're looking to expand your technical capabilities or develop towards a future leadership position, we'll support you in continuing to build your knowledge and experience.
Why join us?
This role gives you the variety of multi-skilled Facilities Management engineering while providing the stability of being primarily based at one site.
You'll have:
- A salary of £38,000–£40,000
- Monday–Friday working
- A primary base in Hemel Hempstead
- Expenses covered when supporting other locations
- An established engineering team around you
- Access to specialist contractor support
- Ongoing technical training and development
- Opportunities to broaden your engineering knowledge
- Potential longer-term career progression
If you're a qualified Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer who enjoys solving problems, taking ownership of your work and providing a professional service to clients, we'd love to hear from you.
