Consultant: We are recruiting for a Building Services Engineer with an Electrical background to join our Banking client's Property Services Data Centre team. You'll be required to complete planned and reactive maintenance tasks and will be expected to complete regular scenario testing to ensure you're trained and able to respond to site technical issues should they occur.

You will be expected to accept on–call duties, alongside High Voltage authorised person duties, which we provide training for. Our Data Centre maintenance team works alongside other Nationwide colleagues and suppliers, including IT stakeholders, within the Data Centre.

• Life assurance worth 8x your salary.
• A great selection of additional benefits through our salary sacrifice scheme.
