Mechanical Maintenance/Small Works Supervisor

The Opportunity

My client is a specialist mechanical contractor delivering high-quality maintenance services across government contracts, and they are now looking to appoint an experienced Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a business where you won't be treated like just a number. They have built a strong reputation not only for technical delivery, but for how they support and develop their people. You'll be joining a close-knit, professional team where your contribution is recognised and your career genuinely supported.

Their work underpins essential public services, giving this role a real sense of purpose and impact.

The Role

This is a hybrid position with a 50/50 split between hands-on engineering and client-facing/ engineering responsibilities. It will suit a technically strong supervisor who enjoys being on the tools while also leading teams and building client relationships.

You will play a key role in delivering maintenance across a portfolio of government sites, ensuring high standards, compliance, and client satisfaction at all times.
