Pareto FM has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Building Services Engineer to join our on-site engineering team supporting a prestigious insurance client in the heart of the City of London.

Based primarily at a premium commercial office environment near Bank/Monument London, you'll play a key role in ensuring critical building services remain safe, compliant, and fully operational. This is a hands-on position suited to an engineer who enjoys taking ownership of their work, building strong client relationships, and working as part of a collaborative team.

With a mix of planned preventative maintenance, reactive works, compliance activities, and critical plant monitoring, no two days are the same.
