Mechanical & Electrical Engineer

Kirklees Stadium Development Ltd is looking to appoint a Mechanical and Electrical Engineer to oversee the maintenance of facilities and infrastructure at The John Smith’s Stadium.

Substantial experience and understanding in the Building Services industry of both new and established heating and electrical systems is essential. Technical expertise is also required to assess service levels to ensure value is maintained from approved contractors when providing preventative and responsive maintenance to the business. Potential candidates must possess an 18th Edition Electrical qualification.

This position has a direct impact on the service delivery to our Stadium Partners and Tenants on site and to the general public attending matches, conferences and events at the Stadium.

The site is a very large prestigious Sports Stadium complex and has varying levels of complexity. These systems range from simple air handling plant to very complex computer controlled building management systems.

The John Smith’s Stadium operates all year round. The post holder will be contracted to work a minimum of 40 hours per week, Monday to Sunday (including cover of all match and event days). These hours will be flexible depending on the needs of the business. There will also be a requirement to attend emergency call outs for mechanical or electrical failures. Salary will be circa £40,000 per annum.

The successful applicant will be self motivated, able to communicate on all levels, and have the ability to work on their own initiative. They will have a passion and enthusiasm to work to a high standard.

Due to the complexities and nature of this role, we may invite prospective candidates to work alongside our M&E Manager on a match day, at their own expense, to assess their skills and knowledge before progressing to the interview stage of recruitment. 

The closing date for receipt of applications is Friday 20 September 2024.
