Mechanical Maintenance/Small Works Supervisor

Location: London
Salary: -63,000 + Vehicle or Paid Travel + Benefits Package + Career Progression

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.

Essential Requirements

• Mechanical Engineering background (essential)
• Proven experience in commercial mechanical maintenance
• Strong experience working with:
• Steam boilers and steam systems
• Steam traps
• Calorifiers
• Plate heat exchangers
• Plant rooms and associated pipework
• Previous experience in a supervisory or leadership role
• Strong client-facing and communication skills
• Good understanding of health & safety and compliance
• Full UK driving licence

Key Responsibilities

Technical & Operational (50%)

• Carry out and supervise planned and reactive maintenance across commercial mechanical systems
• Work on and oversee systems including:
• Steam boilers and steam systems
• Steam traps
• Calorifiers
• Plate heat exchangers
• Pipework systems and plant rooms
• Diagnose faults and ensure effective, compliant repairs
• Maintain high standards of safety, quality, and workmanship

Supervisory & Client-Facing (50%)

• Act as a key point of contact for clients across government contracts
• Build strong, professional relationships and ensure a high level of service delivery
• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of engineers
• Manage scheduling, resources, and workforce planning
• Ensure KPIs and SLAs are consistently achieved
• Support compliance, reporting, and audits

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a specialist contractor with a strong industry reputation
• Be part of a company where people are genuinely valued and supported
• Work in a business that prioritises quality over cutting corners
• Enjoy a clear and structured career progression pathway
• Contribute to contracts that support critical government infrastructure

Desirable

• Experience working on government or public sector contracts
• Commercial gas qualifications
• Additional mechanical certifications

If you''re looking for a role where you''ll be supported, valued, and given real career progression within a specialist contractor, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
