Multi-Skilled Engineer

At CBRE Global Workplace Solutions, we partner with world-leading brands to create workplace environments that foster innovation, reliability, and excellence. We are currently recruiting an exceptional Multi-Skilled Engineer to join our team on-site with one of the globe's most prominent technology innovators at their flagship Central London campus.

This is not a tick-box maintenance role. Operating within a high-density, critical tech environment, you will be given the autonomy to take ownership of site infrastructure, troubleshoot complex plant issues, and make decisive engineering calls in real time. If you thrive in agile, fast-paced workplaces where your technical judgment directly safeguards critical operations, this role is built for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead planned preventative maintenance (PPM), reactive repairs, and statutory compliance tasks across complex M&E infrastructure with minimal direct supervision.
• Act as the first line of defence for critical systems incidents; diagnose root causes rapidly and execute safe, pragmatic solutions to prevent operational downtime.
• Engage directly with client stakeholders and workplace teams, communicating technical issues and project updates with clarity, professionalism, and commercial awareness.
• Issue Permits to Work, review RAMS, conduct dynamic risk assessments, and supervise specialist third-party vendors delivering lifecycle works.
• Proactively identify energy-saving initiatives, plant life-cycle improvements, and process optimisations to maintain world-class site standards.

What We Are Looking For

• Full technical apprenticeship or equivalent NVQ Level 3 / City & Guilds in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering (e.g., 18th Edition BS7671 for electrical bias, or C&G Part 1 & 2 / F-Gas for mechanical bias).
• Demonstrable experience working independently in commercial corporate offices, critical environments, or high-tech client sites.
• Strong hands-on competence across HVAC (AHUs, FCUs, chillers), BMS systems, UPS/generators, fire alarm systems, and primary distribution boards.
• Confident decision-making ability when responding to emergency breakdowns or plant alarms.
• Robust working knowledge of IOSH/L8 water hygiene standards, safe isolation procedures, and health and safety legislation.

What CBRE Offers

• Industry-leading technical and leadership training via the CBRE Learning Academy, with sponsored certifications (HV/LV AP pathways, NEBOSH, etc.).
• Clear internal pathways within the UK’s largest facilities management provider.
