Cleveland Fire Brigade is recognised as one of the country’s leading Fire and Rescue Services and an exciting opportunity has arisen within our Estates Team to help improve, develop and enhance our fire stations and wider 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 Queens Meadow Complex in Hartlepool which hosts Administrative, Training and Technical facilities.
The main duties of this role are to maintain electrical and mechanical engineering services across the estate portfolio, inspecting and reviewing both planned and reactive works to fulfill our statutory obligations and compliances.
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 electrical and mechanical engineering, 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 digital 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 day you could be planning maintenance activities and the next you could be at a fire station resolving issues hands‑on.
If you can meet this challenge, we want to hear from you.
You will be joining a professional, proud, passionate and inclusive team and will have access to a range of benefits including:
- Flexible working through our flexi 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 modern, fully equipped on-site gyms
- Support when you may need it from the Fire Fighters Charity
- Discounts from local and national chains / suppliers with your Blue Light Card
- 24/7 Employee Assistance line plus excellent occupational health services
- Free parking at any of our sites
