The Opportunity
Our client is seeking a high-calibre Technical Supervisor to lead the engineering delivery at a prestigious corporate landmark in Canary Wharf.
This is a professional, "off-the-tools" supervisory role designed for a technically elite leader who excels in engineering governance and team management. You will take ownership of the technical services for this high-spec corporate asset, ensuring that blue-chip occupiers receive a seamless, "best-in-class" maintenance experience.
The Role
As the Technical Supervisor, you will be the primary technical authority on-site. You will balance the operational management of a multi-disciplinary engineering team with the high-level compliance and safety requirements of a landmark London skyscraper.
Key Responsibilities:
Engineering Leadership: Manage and mentor a team of site-based engineers, coordinating daily PPM and reactive workloads via the CAFM system to ensure 100% operational uptime.
HV Authorised Person (AP): Act as the site's High Voltage Authorised Person (HVAP), taking responsibility for complex switching operations, safety isolations, and the management of high-risk electrical works.
Compliance & Governance: Take full accountability for the site's statutory compliance. Maintain "audit-ready" digital and physical logbooks, ensuring 100% adherence to L8, PSSR, and Fire Safety regulations.
Client & Stakeholder Engagement: Act as the face of the engineering team, attending regular meetings with Building Management and high-profile tenants to provide technical updates and advise on site optimizations.
Safe Systems of Work (SSoW): Authorise and review high-risk RAMS and issue Permits to Work, ensuring a "Safety First" culture is maintained across all site activities.
Project & Quoted Works: Identify site improvements and lifecycle opportunities, providing accurate technical specifications and quotes to support the account's growth.
CAFM Oversight: Monitor and audit the CAFM system to ensure all KPIs and SLAs are consistently met, utilizing data to drive performance improvements.

HV Status: Previous experience or current qualification as a High Voltage Authorised Person (HVAP) is highly desired.
Regulations: 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).

Communication: Exceptional verbal and written skills, with the ability to communicate complex technical data to non-technical stakeholders.
Presentation: Polished and professional appearance suitable for a high-profile, tenant-facing corporate headquarters.
