• Perform hands-on maintenance, small installation works, and condition monitoring of Mechanical and Electrical plant and equipment to ensure reliable operation within specifications.
• Monitor and manage the Building Management System (BMS) to incorporate energy efficiency control strategies and optimize building performance.
• Respond promptly to system faults and alarms to maximize plant availability and minimize downtime, ensuring mission-critical operations continue uninterrupted.
• Raise and manage Change Management tickets in accordance with BlackRock's CM program, coordinating with stakeholders to implement system modifications safely.
• Provide technical support for commissioning and handover of new plant and equipment, including markup of drawings and documentation to reflect as-built conditions.
