An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Mechanical Services Technician to join Perth & Kinross Council.
This role sits within the Energy and Engineering Team in Property Services, which delivers a wide range of essential building-related services across the Council’s public buildings estate. The position has been created to support ongoing improvement works and ensure continued statutory compliance across our diverse property portfolio.
The successful candidate will be responsible for coordinating and managing mechanical infrastructure, including gas and water services, ensuring all works comply with relevant regulations, standards, and best practice within operational Council buildings.
While the post is primarily aligned to normal working hours, there may be occasions where flexibility is required to work outwith these hours to minimise disruption to critical services.
In addition to core responsibilities, the role will contribute to a range of mechanical and energy-related infrastructure projects, including:
- Replacement of heating and ventilation systems
- Building Management System (BMS) upgrades
- Other strategic improvement works across the estate
A key aspect of the role will be supporting the Council’s energy efficiency and sustainability goals. This includes incorporating low-carbon and renewable technologies into project designs and proposals, ensuring solutions are cost-effective and energy efficient, and aligned with future energy saving targets.
