What this job involves:
Keeping up the pace
You’ll set the technical team on the right track through ample engineering planning and management. You’ll drive success in terms of functionality and stability by finding new ways to improve the system and making sure that everyone knows where they stand. You need to ensure that team members can efficiently respond to all engineering challenges, at the same time comply with the policies and procedures. You’ll bring out the team player in you to keep all key performances in check.
All eyes on the plan
You’ll ensure that all risk mitigation plans are in place. Do such plans comply with our clients’ designated procedures and policies? Are all engineering reports in order? You constantly need to monitor and evaluate all critical environment equipment across the account’s sites to make sure everything is running smoothly as possible. Tracking review reports should also keep you busy, as doing so is instrumental in implementing improvement plans across the sites.
Taking facilities operations up a notch
Maintaining high-quality facilities operations is your top priority. To achieve this, you’ll work closely with the Workplace Lead and Experience Lead to keep the reliability of facilities operations. You’re in charge of reviewing the planned preventive maintenance programmes, as well as ensuring that service standards are aligned and maintained with regional operations procedures. You’ll take the lead in pushing and ensuring consistency against regional policies and procedures to your team. You’ll also be responsible for quality assurance by keeping the M&E systems in check.
Prioritizing the facilities’ needs—always
You will be on top of all the mechanical, electrical and plumbing works needed in the facility. Likewise, you’ll play an essential function in reducing workplace-related risks by working on maintenance contracts, routine inspections and scheduled down times. Also, part of your scope is to ensure that the facility is in total compliance with all legal and engineering standards. Likewise, you’ll spearhead the implementation of energy programs to cut utility cost.
Risks under control
Being a technical manager also requires you to be on top of your risk management game. Are there any major M&E equipment risks? Is information uploaded into our systems accurate and complies with the audit process? Is the disaster recovery and business continuity planning implemented and reviewed periodically? Are escalation procedures observed? These are just some of the questions that you constantly need to ask yourself as our risk management agent.
Tracking project effectiveness
You’ll be involved in project review, execution and information documentation. You’ll keep track of the M&E portions of all project proposals, and participate in the technical aspects of the M&E portion of any project’s bidding process. It is also your job to keep project information together for future use.
Managing the team
You’ll oversee all engineering-related trainings of staff members, as well as ensure their compliance to necessary licenses and certifications. You’re also in charge of ensuring the quality of management reports through the team’s deliverables and administration.
Putting critical plans and reports in place
Planning is a big part of your mandate. In this role, you’ll take charge of managing engineering budgets and service contracts, ensuring all service deliverables are met.
Performing various audits—including technical, cost savings, risk management and energy management--is part of your job as well. In addition, you’ll strive to minimize downtime by setting up best practices that promote seamless service delivery to our clients.
Your analytical skills will also come in handy, as the role requires you to file reports on maintenance contracts, incident reports, utility consumption and improvement projects.
