Back to jobsProvide technical leadership across all mechanical, electrical, controls, and life safety systems
Set engineering standards aligned to statutory compliance, manufacturer guidance, and industry best practice.
Act as the 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 safety, resilience or compliance
Own the day-to-day management of all building services and technical systems, including HVAC, cleanroom environments, gas systems, water systems and electrical infrastructure
Ensure uptime, reliability and performance of critical systems that support manufacturing and R&D activities
Develop and implement planned preventative maintenance (PPM) strategies. Drive structured reliability-centred and condition-based maintenance approaches to reduce failure risk and unplanned downtime.
Oversee reactive and emergency works with clear prioritisation based on safety risk and business impact
Ensure CAFM systems accurately reflect asset criticality, redundancy strategy, and maintenance history
Ensure resilience of critical infrastructure, including HV/LV distribution, UPS, generators, chillers, boilers, clean utilities, BMS, and life safety systems.
Oversee redundancy strategies (N+1, 2N, etc.) and ensure testing regimes validate system resilience
Lead incident response and root cause analysis for technical failures. Ensure structured post-incident reviews, lessons learned implementation, and risk register updates
Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, sustainability and cost-effectiveness without compromising safety and performance
