Under the direction of Director the Services Engineer is responsible for: implementing engineering services and infrastructure initiatives, providing professional advice to Projects and Facilities Management, performing services inspections on new and existing buildings, and liaising with external authorities and consultants concerning engineering services matters.
This position plays a significant role in championing the delivery of high-quality engineering services and infrastructure, sustainability projects, energy
efficiency and life-cycle asset performance across the department.
The role also incorporates safety across projects, inspections and general work. The position will use their communication skills to discuss safety concerns, how they could be rectified, facilitating input from others and closing off the safety risks using frameworks, software and well thought out plans.
Metrics are a key function of how the business operates so a good understanding of using metrics; developing visual graphs are critical to
the role.
