FACILITIES MAINTENANCE ENGINEER WANTED: KEEP OUR SPACECRAFT FACTORY RUNNING SMOOTHLY (NO ROCKET SCIENCE DEGREE REQUIRED… BUT IT HELPS)

Based in Guildford – Where Satellite Magic Happens and HVAC Systems Keep Us Cool
Are you a mechanical or electrical whiz who loves fixing things before they break? Can you troubleshoot a plumbing leak faster than a satellite reaches orbit? Do you dream of a workplace where your skills keep cleanrooms pristine and production humming?
If so, you might just be the Facilities Maintenance Engineer we’re looking for.

What You’ll Be Up To

• Keeping our offices and cleanrooms perfectly climate controlled by managing HVAC maintenance and repairs
• Hunting down mechanical and electrical gremlins and sending them packing—think breakdowns, alarms, and plumbing quirks
• Doing regular “health checks” on all our facility systems so nothing sneaks up on us
• Creating and improving preventative maintenance programs that keep downtime to a minimum (because nobody likes surprises)
• Scheduling maintenance so it doesn’t interrupt the space magic happening around you
• Making sure all maintenance ticks the boxes for safety, regulations, and company policies
• Keeping sharp records of inspections and repairs because details matter
• Championing safety like a pro and making sure everyone around you does too
• Helping plan and roll out facility upgrades and improvements that keep us ahead of the game
• Coordinating with vendors and contractors for the big fixes and installations
• Keeping an eye on energy use and helping us be as green and efficient as possible
• Providing technical support and training to colleagues who might need a little help
• Offering out-of-hours support because spacecraft don’t keep office hours

What You Bring to the Table

• Solid experience in facilities maintenance, ideally in manufacturing or construction
• Hands-on mechanical or electrical engineering skills with proven troubleshooting ability
• Comfortable using mechanical and electrical test gear like a pro
• A Nebosh Diploma or IOSH Certificate in Safety is a big plus (but not mandatory)
• Full driving licence for zipping between sites
• Ability to gain Security Clearance would be handy
• A degree or equivalent technical qualification will definitely get you noticed
• Excellent communication skills—you know how to persuade and negotiate with everyone from contractors to engineers
• Organised, self-motivated, and flexible enough to juggle changing priorities with ease
• A team player with great planning and problem-solving skills who thrives under pressure
• Proficient with MS Office, especially Excel and Word
• A natural at living and breathing company values: accountability, drive, clear communication, self-management, and teamwork

Why This Role is Out of This World

• You get to be the unsung hero behind the scenes keeping a cutting-edge satellite manufacturing facility in tip-top shape
• Work alongside engineers and production teams who are building the satellites of tomorrow
• Help reduce energy use and champion sustainability in a high-tech environment
• Tackle a variety of challenges every day—no two days are the same here
• Bring your problem-solving skills to a place that truly appreciates them
• Be part of a company where your work directly supports space exploration and technology
