My client is recruiting for an electrical engineer to be part of a team on a large and prestigious site in the South East of Oxford. The role is shift working 4 on 4 off.

The Site:

While the site is a manufacturing facility, you and your team will not work on any machinery and will be focussed on building maintenance only completing ppm and reactive maintenance on the commercial premises.

You will be working across a variety of building types which will largely comprise of large-scale warehouses but also offices, museum, shops, restaurant etc. The site is modern, most of it being built in the year 2000 and houses some extremely cutting edge technology so makes for a busy and interesting environment to work. As the buildings are new, the building services within it are in good condition which makes ppm's much easier than with older sites.

The Role:

The role itself is to work as an electrical engineer as part of a wider team, completing hands on maintenance work across the site, keeping the building in a good condition so everyone working inside it can work at peak performance. While the role is electrically biased, as the role is full M+E maintenance across the site, you will be expected to be involved in some minor mechanical and fabric works as required so flexibility it a must.
