What you'll bring to the team
We have a new opportunity for a robust, hands-on, Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join our operations team at SEA LIFE London Aquarium. You’ll be ensuring the smooth, safe, and continuous operation of our aquarium life support systems, exhibits, as well as our building infrastructure.
This is a permanent position, ideal for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer who possesses a strong background in perhaps a factory or industrial setting, where fault-finding, preventative maintenance, and rapid breakdown response are paramount and therefore second nature.
Being the Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer in this position will see you take ownership of key duties such as:
- Maintaining, servicing, and repairing various high-flow pumps and critical marine life support systems (LSS).
- Conducting planned preventative maintenance (PPM) on mechanical plant equipment.
- Maintaining and troubleshooting general lighting and specialized DMX lighting systems across all exhibit areas and public zones.
- Performing PLC fault finding and diagnostic checks on automated control systems.
- Carry out scheduled PPM for Air Handling Units (AHUs), AC units, chillers, and extract fans.
In addition, the Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer will be required to perform general facility repairs, including routine door repairs as and when required. You’ll oversee and maintain toilet functionality, including unblocking and minor plumbing repairs.
