Key Responsibilities

• Plan and coordinate the engineering team's daily and weekly tasks
• Liaise with internal teams and external contractors to ensure seamless service delivery

• Ensure asset registers, maintenance records, and service reports are up-to-date
• Deliver toolbox talks and support safety briefings
• Drive energy efficiency, sustainability and compliance across the estate
• Maintain availability of critical spares, tools and testing equipment
• Monitor, coach and develop engineering team members to achieve optimal performance
• Foster strong working relationships with stakeholders, clients and senior management
