Along with core engineering certificates, additional training such as IOSH Managing Safely, NEBOSH, current or previous HV / LV AP status, ACOP L8, etc will all be beneficial, as well as any engineering memberships.
Some of the duties involved will include:

This is an exciting opportunity for an engineering/technical manager to join one of the leaders in the commercial real estate management in the UK, working directly for the managing agent. While managing agent experience is preferred, our customer are open to those working on the Facilities Maintenance / Service Provider side interested in a move towards being the client and the added benefits, prestige and job security which come with that.
Outside of strong technical expertise within electrical, mechanical and general HVAC systems, the role will be outward facing in liaising with tenants, regular meetings with stakeholders and service providers. As much as this engineering bias, a client-facing and personable approach is key in fostering relations and day-to-day interactions.
With a number of high-profile properties under management and a growing reputation within the London & UK market, this is a fantastic time to join with career development through training and promotion all on the table.
