Location: Cleveland Fire Brigade, Queens Meadow Business Park, Endeavour House, Stockton Road, Hartlepool, TS25 5TH
A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to join one of the country’s leading Fire and Rescue Services, helping our Estates team to maintain and improve our Fire Stations and other property assets.
The Brigade has made a significant investment into modernising its Estates in recent years, rebuilding and refurbishing Fire Stations across Cleveland and building the new Queens Meadow Complex in Hartlepool which hosts Administrative, Training and Technical facilities.
The main duties of this role are to maintain building engineering services across the estate portfolio, inspecting and reviewing the functionality of mechanical and electrical services and making recommendations regarding safety, life expectancy, energy efficiency, upgrades and planned maintenance.
This role is based at the Training and Administration Hub in Hartlepool, but will also include travel to all Fire Stations across Cleveland.
The successful candidate will have proven experience in mechanical and electrical engineering and building services, along with experience of managing planned preventative maintenance programmes. Ability to work under pressure whilst managing own workload and meeting set deadlines with minimum supervision is essential to the role.
We offer an excellent package, including excellent training and development including generous holiday entitlement, family friendly working, local government pension scheme, free parking and free use of gym, with all clothing and personal protective equipment provided.
You will work in a modern clean environment as part of a dedicated team and have access to the latest ICT systems to undertake your role. We invest in our staff and provide both in-house and external training.
Joining a first-rate organisation, you will have the job satisfaction of knowing each day that you are contributing to the success of one of the top performing fire and rescue services in the UK, supporting firefighters who work round the clock to protect local communities and save lives.
No two days are the same, one minute you could be planning asset maintenance activities and the next you could be at a fire station resolving estate issues hands-on.
We are a caring organisation, promote an environment of inclusivity and learning and welcome people from all walks of life - just as long as you can show commitment to our values such as integrity and teamwork.
If you can meet this challenge, we want to hear from you.
For more information or a discussion on the role please call Andy Bell on 01429 874033 or 07740 152987.
Cleveland Fire Brigade offers a great range of benefits including a generous holiday entitlement and pension scheme, family friendly working, free parking, free use of the on-site gym, discounts across retail outlets, restaurants and other services, a full range of Occupational Health provision and a cycle to work scheme, with all uniform and personal protective equipment provided.

• Flexible working with our annualised hours system
• Membership of the Local Government career average pension scheme
• Family friendly policies to help you manage your home and work life balance
• Free access to up-to-date on-site gyms
