ameygroupi; Millom; On-site; GBP 25,000 - 35,000

Job description

We have a fantastic opportunity for a 12-month fixed term General Building Engineer to join our Ministry of Justice (MoJ) account in HMP Haverigg, North Lane, Haverigg, Millom, LA18 4NA. This role is based on-site, and you will need your own means of transport as the location of the site is remote and more than an hour from Lancaster.

At Amey, we’re supporting our justice client, His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) by providing them with safe, clean and efficient prisons. By using our facilities management expertise, we help keep 60 secure premises across England and Wales running smoothly.

The General Building Engineer plays an important part in ensuring the planned and reactive maintenance work within the prisons is carried out in a safe, compliant and timely manner.

The standard hours of work are 39 hours per week, Monday to Thursday 08:00 - 17:00; Friday 08:00 - 16:00.

You will be responsible for:

• Raise, update and close remedial tasks within the Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) system.
• Ensure all critical parts are available for statutory tasks.
• Carry out general and semi-skilled maintenance activities.
• Undertake general tasks associated with security systems such as CCTV and alarm systems.
• Carry out monthly checks and tests of fire extinguisher equipment, with regular checks on fire hydrants and fire hoses.
• Carry out checks on Misting Units.
• Conduct flushing and tap temperature tests as required by the water risk assessment.
• Undertake monthly and annual emergency lighting checks.
• Check and test smoke vents as required.
• Any other duties commensurate with the role.

What makes this role unique is you will work alongside the engineers in all maintenance across the site as well as working independently. Prison Security Clearance will be required (Amey will support you through this process).

We want to hear from you if you have:

• Experience in Fire Door Maintenance.
• Experience in Fire Extinguisher Maintenance.
• Experience in Fire Alarm Core Points.
• Experience in Emergency Lighting.
• Experience in RCD.
• Experience in Water Temperature Testing.

Ideally, you will be qualified in multiple areas of maintenance as outlined above with experience in general building maintenance.

In addition to this, it would be desirable if you have experience of working within a custodial environment with basic Health and Safety knowledge and exposure to building and system compliance, although this is not essential as we will provide you with the required development you need to bring you up to speed.

What we offer you:

• Career Development: Exceptional development and progression plan.
• Pension: Generous Pension scheme which we will contribute to.
• Choices: Our flexible benefits scheme is tailored by you, including buying additional annual leave, cycle2work scheme, charity giving and gym membership.
• Save with Amey: Our online voucher portal gives you access to thousands of discounts from leading retailers to help you save on shopping, days out, or nights in. It includes healthcare, free GP service, dental vouchers.
• Social Value: You’ll get 2 Community Involvement Days each year to volunteer for a charity of your choice and further opportunities to support fundraising initiatives.
• On site: Free parking, cafe, use of gym just outside prison for reduced rate.

We embrace difference and support individuals to work in ways that work best for them.

We are committed to working sustainably and by working in partnership with the communities we serve, so people and the planet are protected.
