Role Overview
This is a senior leadership role with full Account Management and technical responsibility for a high-risk, business-critical FM contract within the semiconductor and advanced technology sector.
The postholder will be accountable for the safe, compliant, resilient and commercially successful delivery of FM services, acting as the senior authority for engineering risk and assurance.
Supporting a world-leading technology manufacturer, this role requires strong technical credibility, commercial leadership and client management within a complex, critical engineering environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide senior technical leadership across all mechanical, electrical, controls, and life safety systems within a critical environment. Set engineering standards aligned to statutory compliance, manufacturer guidance, and industry best practice. Act as the senior technical authority for safe systems of work, isolation management, switching protocols, and engineering change control.
- Ensure engineering teams operate within clearly defined authorisation structures, with formal competency frameworks and documented evidence of appointment. Oversee technical risk assessments and ensure that maintenance and operational activity does not compromise resilience or compliance.
Maintenance & Operational Delivery
- Ensure statutory, mandatory, and critical PPM regimes are delivered without compromise, with enhanced scrutiny applied to high-consequence systems. Oversee reactive and emergency works with clear prioritisation based on business impact and safety risk.
- Ensure CAFM systems accurately reflect asset criticality, redundancy strategy, and maintenance history. Drive structured reliability-centred and condition-based maintenance approaches to reduce failure risk and unplanned downtime.
Compliance, Safety & Assurance
- Hold senior accountability for technical compliance across electrical, mechanical, pressure systems, water hygiene, fire safety, F-Gas, and specialist plant. Ensure adherence to UK legislation including EaWR, PUWER, LOLER, PSSR, COSHH, DSEAR, HSG274/ACoP L8, and Fire Safety legislation.
- Lead internal and external audits, ensure robust documentation control, oversee RAMS approval and permit-to-work systems, and ensure corrective actions are closed effectively. Maintain full traceability of compliance evidence suitable for regulatory scrutiny.
