* Monitor and manage building performance via BMS systems
* Operate Permit to Work systems in line with H&S procedures
* Ensure compliance with KPIs, SLAs, and statutory regulations
* Maintain accurate records via CAFM systems (SAP/Concept or similar)
* Support subcontractor control and safe system of work processes
* Maintain detailed shift logs and ensure plant rooms are secure and well maintained
* This is a hands-on, technically focused Electrical Engineer role within a highly regulated and performance-driven environment.
The successful Electrical Engineer will require:
* Apprentice-trained Electrical Engineer (or Mechanical/Electrical Building Services equivalent)
* Experience with UPS, generators, HV, PDUs, HVAC and BMS systems
