About the Role:

We’re looking for a highly capable Lead Engineer to take charge of a prestigious site in Tower Bridge. Sitting between a supervisor and a site manager in seniority, this is a key leadership role overseeing day-to-day MandE operations and leading a small on-site engineering team. You’ll be the first point of contact for our client and expected to take a proactive role in both management and hands-on support when required.

- Monitor PPM and reactive maintenance tasks to ensure timely completion.
- Support with quoting, planning, and overseeing additional works and minor projects.
- Use tools as needed for urgent or emergency works to avoid service delays.
- Provide technical guidance, supervision, and mentorship to the on-site team.
- Maintain site documentation and reports using Excel, Word, and relevant software tools (including Copilot).
- Operate from the landlord side only (no in-apartment work, HIUs only).

-------------------------

Requirements:

- Strong working knowledge of MandE building services.
- Experience managing or supervising engineering teams in a commercial or residential setting.
- Competent with Microsoft Excel, Word, and general IT tools (Copilot knowledge a plus).
- Comfortable providing hands-on support when needed.
- Demonstrated ability to quote and manage small to medium works/projects.
- Excellent communication and client-facing skills.
- Proactive, organised, and solutions-focused mindset.

Benefits and Progression:

- Full office and desk provided on-site.
- Immediate salary review after 6 months based on performance.
