Job Description

Mobile Engineer (M&E Bias)

Manchester & Sheffield | 40 Hours | Monday–Friday

We’re looking for a multi-skilled Mobile Engineer with either a mechanical/plumbing or electrical bias — but importantly, someone who enjoys working across disciplines and taking ownership of their patch.

This isn’t a “stay in your lane” type of role. You’ll be trusted to think beyond your core trade, get stuck in, and keep buildings running smoothly across a varied commercial portfolio in the Manchester and Sheffield areas.

If you’re hands-on, solutions-focused, and take pride in high standards — this could be for you.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be responsible for delivering both planned and reactive maintenance across multiple commercial sites, ensuring systems remain safe, compliant and fully operational.

Day to day, that means:

• Delivering PPM and reactive works across building services systems

• Fault-finding across HVAC, pumps, motors, AHUs, FCUs and associated plant

• Supporting electrical systems including lighting, power distribution and emergency lighting

• Handling basic plumbing and mechanical works (or electrical support, depending on your bias)

• Monitoring plant performance and responding proactively to issues

• Completing compliance checks and statutory inspections

• Updating CAFM systems accurately and in real time

• Supporting subcontractors and issuing permits to work when required

• Acting as a professional and proactive point of contact on site

This is a mobile role, so you’ll manage your own diary, travel between sites, and take real ownership of your region.

The environment

• Covering commercial office environments across Manchester and Sheffield

• High standards, well-maintained buildings

• A supportive contract management structure

• Autonomy in your day-to-day work

• A culture built around trust, professionalism and collaboration

No two days are the same — and that’s exactly how you like it.

What we’re looking for

We’re open to engineers with either an electrical or mechanical/plumbing bias, but you must be comfortable working beyond your core discipline.

You’ll ideally have:

• Experience within Facilities Management or Building Services

• Strong PPM and reactive maintenance background

• Confidence fault-finding across M&E systems

• HVAC plant knowledge

• Experience with BMS systems (desirable)

• Good IT skills and experience updating CAFM systems

• A proactive, calm and professional approach

Qualifications

• City & Guilds Level 2 & 3 in Electrical Engineering or

• City & Guilds Level 3 in Plumbing/Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)

• 18th Edition (if electrically biased) desirable

• Legionella awareness (training can be provided)

• Full UK driving licence

What’s in it for you?

• A genuinely varied mobile role — not just ticking boxes

• Trust and autonomy in your region

• Structured support from experienced managers

• Overtime opportunities

• Ongoing training and development

• Clear progression routes within a growing FM business

Why this role stands out

This isn’t about being “just” an electrical engineer or “just” a plumber. It’s about being a well-rounded facilities professional who understands buildings as a whole and enjoys solving problems properly.

If you take pride in doing the job right, like working independently but still being part of a strong team, and want a role where your skillset is valued — we’d love to hear from you.
