Step into a Leadership Role at a Prestigious Kensington Development.  We’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Team Leader to take charge of engineering operations at a high-end private residential development in Kensington. This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled professional who thrives on variety—combining leadership, technical expertise, and practical problem-solving in a luxury environment. As the go-to engineering lead on site, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring the building operates flawlessly while maintaining the highest standards for residents and staff.

• Lead and support a small on-site engineering team (2 Residence Engineers)
• Oversee and manage M&E contractors and service providers
• Deliver a rolling programme of planned preventative maintenance (PPM)
• Respond to and resolve reactive maintenance issues efficiently
• Take ownership of contractor performance
• Ensure full compliance with health & safety standards
• Carry out hands-on maintenance tasks when needed—this is not a desk-only role
• Maintain and monitor key systems including: HVAC & air conditioning, BMS (Building Management Systems), Heating & hot water systems, Electrical systems (including emergency lighting), Communal areas, car parks, and plant rooms

What We’re Looking For

You’re an experienced, practical engineer who enjoys both leading a team and getting stuck in on the tools.

• Proven experience in building maintenance / facilities management
• Strong knowledge of M&E systems, HVAC, and BMS
• Experience managing contractors and maintenance programmes
• Background in residential developments or hotels preferred
• Relevant qualification:
  • Electrical or Plumbing qualification
  • Degree or Diploma in Electrical Engineering (or similar)
• Confident with IT systems and reporting tools
• Strong understanding of health & safety compliance
• Bonus points for experience with swimming pool systems

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Work in a prestigious, high-spec residential environment
• Enjoy a balanced Monday–Friday schedule with variety in your day
• Be part of a role where your expertise truly makes an impact
• Combine leadership responsibility with hands-on engineering work

If you’re ready to take ownership of a high-profile site and bring both your technical skills and leadership ability to the forefront, we’d love to hear from you.
