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
