Monitoring performance of mechanical and electrical systems, including Building Management Systems (BMS), to ensure safety, reliability and effectiveness
Working to tender specifications, contract documentation and technical drawings
Identifying risks, escalating issues and ensuring corrective action is taken where required
Undertaking building condition and dilapidation surveys to support asset management and project planning
Witnessing testing and commissioning of new installations and providing technical guidance to colleagues
Expectations
To succeed in this role, you will be expected to:
Communicate effectively with contractors, consultants and internal teams, providing clear written and verbal technical advice
