• Plan and prioritise work across reactive, remedial and PPM demand, using geographic batching and shared station coverage to improve response, productivity, vehicle utilisation and service resilience. 

• Complete accurate technical records, inspection and testing documentation, defect reports, quotations or follow-on recommendations so that work is auditable, compliant and capable of being invoiced without delay. 

• Support the electrical team with generator load testing, emergency power resilience, emergency lighting compliance and knowledge transfer to other ABM engineers, within the limits of competence and authorisation.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Attend and manage electrical reactive work, including fault-finding, safe isolation, lock-off/tag-out, proving dead, rectification, functional testing and return to service.

• Carry out electrical PPM and remedial works in line with SFG20 task requirements, contract service levels, asset records and the site-specific risk assessment and method statement.

• Undertake inspection and testing appropriate to the work, including continuity of protective conductors, insulation resistance, polarity, earth fault loop impedance, prospective fault current, RCD testing and functional verification, where competent and authorised.

• Complete Electrical Installation Certificates (EIC), Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificates (MEIWC), Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR), schedules of test results, emergency lighting records and other required NICEIC or client certification accurately and within the required timescale.

• Maintain and test emergency lighting systems in accordance with applicable requirements, including BS 5266-1, BS EN 1838 and BS EN 50172, and clearly report failures, non-compliances and battery or luminaire replacement requirements.

• Conduct generator and standby-power load testing, record results, identify defects affecting automatic transfer, batteries, control systems or changeover arrangements, and escalate any condition that may compromise emergency power availability.

• Complete engineer worksheets, technical reports, rejection reports and follow-on scopes with sufficient detail to identify the failed component, the cause of failure, the recommended remedy, access requirements and any parts or specialist support required.

• Obtain customer or authorised site representative sign-off and submit all job documentation, photographs, test results and supporting information to enable prompt job closure, cost recovery and contract reporting.

• Work collaboratively with the LFB account team, contract staff, supervisors, administrators and other trades to coordinate access, permits, isolations, fire-station operational constraints and customer communications.

• Use mobile working time effectively, including accurate weekly timesheets, expenses with receipts, travel records and clear separation of productive, travel and non-productive time.
