Building Services Engineer

Company: Watt People Ltd
Apply for the Building Services Engineer
Location: Ashford
Job Description:

I’ll be honest, this is one of those roles that will either massively appeal to someone… or completely put them off.

Because this isn’t a “sit in the office and watch contractors” type of facilities role

.And it’s not a pure production engineer role eithe

r.This business needs someone who can properly own the si

te.Someone who can walk into a factory, spot problems before they become breakdowns, challenge standards, manage contractors properly, keep on top of PMs/admin AND still be hands on when nee

ded.You’ll be covering things

like:

• HVAC• Electrical s

ystems• Site infrastr

ucture• Cold

stores• Packing hall s

upport• Facilities pr

ojects• Contractor mana

gement• Preventative maint

enance• Engineering admin s

ystems• General site improv

ementsThe right person for this role is probably already doing half of this unofficially in their current job

anyway.The kind of engineer who naturally takes ow

nership.The one people go to when something needs sorting

properly.The role is DAYS ONLY which nowadays is becoming harder and harder to find in manu

facturing.The site itself is well established, busy and genuinely

investing.This would suit someone from a food/FMCG manufacturing background who wants a role with a bit more variety and responsibility without disappearing into management meeti

ngs all day….
