Facilities Engineer

A well-established engineering and technology organisation is looking to appoint a Facilities Engineer to support the day-to-day operation of a modern, high-spec facility in Edinburgh.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys problem-solving, takes pride in keeping things running smoothly, and can adapt across a variety of building services and maintenance tasks.

You’ll play a key part in maintaining the site’s infrastructure, supporting both planned and reactive maintenance, and ensuring facilities operate safely and efficiently.

The position offers a mix of practical, coordination, and improvement-focused work — ideal for someone who enjoys variety and being close to the action.

Key Responsibilities

* Carry out preventative and reactive maintenance across site services and equipment

* Troubleshoot faults and resolve issues to minimise disruption

* Support and oversee external contractors on-site

* Conduct routine inspections of building systems and services

* Assist with small projects, upgrades, and general site improvements

* Maintain records of maintenance activities and work orders

* Support compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards

* Contribute to continuous improvement and general site upkeep

About You

This role is open to a range of backgrounds. You might come from facilities, maintenance engineering, building services, or a technical trade.

We’re particularly keen to hear from individuals with:

* Experience working with electrical and/or mechanical systems

* A practical, hands-on approach to fault finding and problem solving

* The ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities

* Strong communication skills and a team-focused mindset

Candidates from ex-military backgrounds (e.g. Navy, RAF, Army technical roles) are strongly encouraged to apply, especially those with experience in maintenance, engineering, or technical operations.

What’s on Offer

You’ll be joining a stable and well-invested environment where facilities are taken seriously. The role offers variety, autonomy, and the chance to be part of a supportive team that values practical thinking and reliability
