Role Description
Reporting to the Head of Engineering, the post-holder will be responsible for ensuring the continuity of all engineering services to London Stock Exchange Groups property portfolio and, in particular, provide a safe and secure operating environment for all building occupants by ensuring that the buildings are maintained to a high standard, operate effectively and comply with all current legislation.
The Engineering Facilities Manager will manage, control and authorise all activities undertaken on the Exchanges high voltage (HV) networks and ensure the incumbent maintenance contractor has suitably trained staff to undertake the operation and maintenance of the HV network.
In addition, the post-holder will project manage and have financial control of large scale capital projects in a 24/7 operational environment, including mission critical data centres, guaranteeing delivery, quality, budget and uptime.
On a day to day basis the post holder will lead, supervise and mentor the incumbent maintenance contractor, promoting collaboration, team ethos, agreeing goals and targets. It will also be the responsibility of the post holder to ensure the engineering systems supporting the key business areas are not impacted by equipment or utility failures.
An aspect of the role will be customer facing, i.e. there will be a degree of exposure to end users and key stakeholders; there will also be a requirement to liaise formally with the occupiers nominated representatives on a regular basis. Accordingly, an appropriate air of authority, coupled with particularly strong interpersonal skills, will be required.
Whilst the role will be based at LSEGs London HQ, there may be a requirement for travel in order to maintain/develop relations with local managers and/or to support specific projects or resolve issues. It is therefore expected that the post-holder will be able to meet such demands, if necessary at short notice.
