Salary: £40k + Overtime + Excellent Benefits
The Opportunity
An established Facilities Management provider is offering a standout opportunity for a Mechanical Engineer to join the on-site team at a major shopping centre in North West London. This is not a static, back-of-house role. It’s a high-visibility position on a busy, modern retail destination where engineering standards directly shape the experience of thousands of visitors every day. The successful candidate will be part of a professional, well-supported team responsible for keeping the centre running at its best. For the right engineer, this role offers variety, stability, and long-term progression within a secure contract.
What Makes This Role Different
- A large, well-maintained site with a wide range of mechanical plant and systems
- A supportive on-site team with strong leadership and clear structure
- A role that offers real variety, not repetitive maintenance
- Consistent investment in the site and engineering standards
- The chance to work in a lively, fast-moving environment where no two days are the same
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver both planned preventive maintenance (PPM) and reactive works across mechanical systems
- Maintain and repair HVAC plant, pumps, motors, pipework, valves, and water systems
- Respond quickly to faults, ensuring minimal disruption to retailers and the public
- Monitor plant performance and take a proactive approach to maintenance
- Work closely with subcontractors and site teams to keep standards high
- Ensure full compliance with health & safety and statutory requirements
- Maintain clear and accurate records of all works carried out
The Ideal Candidate
This role suits a hands-on engineer who enjoys being part of a busy site and takes pride in keeping systems running smoothly. Someone who can stay organised, communicate well, and handle the pace of a live retail environment will do well here.
Essential:
- Mechanical qualification (NVQ / C&G Level 2 or equivalent)
- Experience working within commercial, retail, or large public buildings
- Strong understanding of mechanical building services systems
- Solid fault-finding and problem-solving skills
Desirable:
- Previous experience in a similar high-footfall site
- Mechanical qualification (NVQ / C&G Level 3 or equivalent)
- Basic knowledge of BMS or controls systems
What’s On Offer:
- Competitive salary with regular overtime opportunities
- Stable, long-term contract with a respected FM provider
- Exposure to a wide range of plant and systems
- Opportunity to develop skills and progress within the business
- A professional, well-run site where engineering is taken seriously
Why Apply?
This is a role for engineers who want more than just a job. It offers security, variety, and the chance to be part of a site that’s constantly active and evolving. For someone who enjoys being hands-on, working as part of a solid team, and seeing the direct impact of their work every day, this is a strong move.
