Up to £48,000 + Call-Out Rota + Excellent Benefits

We’re recruiting a Shift Mechanical Engineer to join the on-site team supporting a high-profile banking client at 5 Appold Street, close to Liverpool Street.

This is a 4 on / 4 off day-shift role (7am–7pm), ideal for a mechanically biased engineer who prefers longer shifts, more days off, and a stable, professional corporate environment.


The role

You’ll be responsible for planned and reactive mechanical maintenance across three occupied office floors.

What we’re looking for

  • Mechanical qualification (NVQ Level 2 or 3, or equivalent)

  • Experience in mechanical building services or FM maintenance

  • Comfortable working in a commercial / corporate environment

  • Good fault-finding ability and a hands-on approach

  • Strong communication skills

  • Happy working a 4 on / 4 off day-shift pattern

Commercial FM experience is useful, but not essential if your fundamentals are solid.


Salary & benefits

  • Salary up to £48,000

  • Call-out rota with additional earnings

  • 4 on / 4 off, days only (7am–7pm)

  • Private medical insurance
