- Provide technical leadership across electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, water systems, fire and life safety, and associated FM trades.
- Review planned preventive maintenance activities, method statements, risk assessments, permits, technical reports and contractor submissions.
- Apply SFG20 maintenance standards, or an equivalent recognised maintenance regime, to asset schedules and statutory tasks.
- Oversee water hygiene and Legionella control, including risk assessments, tank management, flushing, temperature monitoring, sampling, periodic testing and corrective actions in line with L8 principles and applicable local requirements.
- Monitor asset condition, recurring failures, statutory compliance and maintenance performance; recommend lifecycle, reliability and efficiency improvements.
- Lead technical investigations and support incident response, shutdowns, emergency works and business continuity.
- Ensure contractors and service teams meet contractual KPIs, service levels, safety standards and quality requirements.
- Maintain accurate technical records, inspection reports, test results, compliance evidence and management dashboards.

- Demonstrable knowledge of water hygiene and Legionella control aligned with L8 principles, including tank inspection, water use, sampling and periodic testing.
