Static Engineer Locations Canary Wharf

My client has been in the HVAC industry for over 45 years now. We specialise in commercial chillers, boilers and air conditioning. In the last 10 years, we have also moved with the industry into FM services and more recently District Energy. We have experienced growth in a new sector within our industry which we are calling Energy Services. We have been working for two major players within the district energy business, servicing sites around London. We have successfully tendered a static contract at a landmark site in London for which we now need to recruit a static team to deliver a first‑class service to our customers.

Therefore, they want to recruit static mechanical/electrical engineers to help in the running of this contract. They believe a dedicated team is a correct approach to meeting our customer’s needs. This team will also be backed up by our mobile Heating, Chiller and mechanical engineers as and when required. We’re convinced that great companies are powered by great people and led by inspired leaders; individuals who are authentic, who embrace new ideas, share mutual respect and are keen to make a difference. You will need to be able to demonstrate high levels of craftsmanship, knowledge, be able to work alone on a wide range of equipment as well as being able to supervise others when needed. An eye for detail and quality is important to ensure we deliver the best for our clients.

Some of the duties included are:

  • To carry out planned maintenance within the energy centre, satellite plant rooms, risers and corridors
  • Responding to reactive call outs and attending site to fix
  • Some of the Mechanical duties include pump overhauls, valve and pipework repairs, vibration analysis, PHEX maintenance, fixing leaks, belt and pully alinement checks, fault finding, boiler checks, water treatment / temperature monitoring and constantly looking for ways to reduce the overall cost of production
  • Some of the Electrical Duties include motor testing, BMS monitoring, meter checks, fault finding and constantly looking for ways to reduce the overall cost of production
  • Servicing AHU’s, FCU’s, pumps, inverters, adiabatic coolers, valves, Sidestream filters, PHEX, pipework and a good working knowledge of all other M&E & HVAC, HIU experience is a must.
  • Good understanding of L8/Legionella
  • Be a good problem solver and ability to fault find and rectify
  • Manage subcontractors and the company’s other technical resources
  • Oversee Health & Safety in line with our client’s systems
  • Develop quotations for additional works and repairs as required

One of our key selling points is that we don’t just go through the motions with planned maintenance but instead look for ways to continually improve asset performance. We have some of the best market‑leading optimisation software on the market, that stands us apart from our competition which is important, but we need the best engineers onboard to help us find and deliver exceptional results.

One of your first jobs will be to familiarise yourself with the site and assist in asset verification. Implementing a full and accurate PPM and asset management system is something we want all our engineers involved in, so you understand the importance of what we are trying to achieve.

Core Values we want you to have and be able to demonstrate
  • Commitment
  • Passion
  • Hard‑working
  • Disciplined
  • Trustworthy
  • Dynamic
  • Positive attitude
  • Initiative

Edge Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK edge computing hiring has moved from tool‑lists to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise resilient edge architectures, real‑time data pipelines, secure device fleets, container/Kubernetes at the edge, on‑device/near‑edge ML, and measurable business impact (latency, reliability, cost‑to‑serve). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for edge platform engineers, IoT/OT engineers, edge SREs, embedded/firmware engineers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/private LTE), security specialists & product managers. Who this is for: Edge platform/SRE, IoT solution architects, embedded/firmware developers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/SD‑WAN), security engineers (OT/ICS), data/streaming engineers, site deployment/field engineers & edge product managers targeting roles in the UK.

Why Edge Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For years, computing innovation was focused on the cloud. But as demand for real-time analytics, low-latency processing and secure local data handling grows, edge computing has become the next frontier. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare monitoring devices, retail checkout systems to industrial IoT, edge computing is transforming how data is processed and used in the UK. This shift has also changed what it means to work in the field. Edge computing careers are no longer purely technical. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design, as professionals must consider regulation, human behaviour, communication & usability alongside engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why UK edge computing careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five fields intersect with edge roles, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Edge Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Edge Computing Department

Edge computing is expanding rapidly in the UK, driven by demands for low latency, on-site processing, IoT proliferation, autonomous systems, 5G, AI inference on devices, and regulatory pressures for data sovereignty. Businesses in sectors such as telecoms, industrial automation, retail, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare are pushing computation and intelligence closer to where data is generated. But to design, build, deploy, secure, and maintain edge computing systems requires more than just hardware or software — it requires structured teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. If you’re hiring, or applying for roles via EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, understanding who does what in a mature edge computing department will help you plan better, show relevance in job applications, and build resilient teams. This article covers the key roles in edge computing teams, how they collaborate through the project lifecycle, what skills and qualifications UK employers usually expect, salary benchmarks, challenges and trends, and best practices for structuring effective edge teams.
