About the role
At Tesco, everything we do starts with people — our customers, our colleagues, and the communities we serve. To keep our stores safe, legal, and fully operational, we rely on talented engineering professionals who can lead with expertise and deliver with purpose.
We’re now looking for a Mechanical Maintenance Technical Manager to take ownership of our mechanical maintenance discipline across the UK retail estate. If you’re passionate about engineering excellence, continuous improvement, and making a real impact at scale, this could be the role for you.
As our Mechanical Maintenance Technical Manager, you’ll be accountable for driving the strategy, standards, and performance of all mechanical assets across our estate — including automatic doors, loading bay equipment, shutters, and associated systems.
You’ll act as the national subject matter expert, supporting our field teams and ensuring our stores remain safe, compliant, and functioning for customers and colleagues.
The Hiring Manager for this role is Daniel Villiers.
You will be responsible for
Leading the national Mechanical Maintenance discipline strategy, setting and enforcing technical standards, governance frameworks, and best‑practice processes.
Acting as the technical authority for mechanical systems — providing expert guidance, escalation support, and clear direction to field teams and stakeholders.
Ensuring full statutory and regulatory compliance across all mechanical assets, including Machine Directive, LOLER, and relevant ACOPs such as DHF.
Driving asset performance and availability for automatic doors, gates, loading bays, and shutters — minimising downtime and ensuring service levels are consistently achieved.
Supporting contractor performance management, including tender reviews, KPI analysis, failure trend insights, and year‑on‑year improvements in cost, compliance, and reliability.
Developing and optimising the Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) strategy, ensuring maintenance regimes are technically robust, risk‑based, and aligned to asset lifecycle principles.
Leading root cause analysis for recurring failures and implementing estate‑wide corrective and preventative actions.
Owning mechanical cost performance, identifying efficiency opportunities and delivering sustainable save‑to‑invest initiatives without compromising safety or standards.
Overseeing mechanical parts and obsolescence strategy, ensuring critical spares and contingency plans are in place.
Delivering the annual Mechanical Discipline Improvement Plan, incorporating innovation, process enhancement, and service improvements.
Ensuring high professional standards in the delivery and close‑out of planned and reactive works.
Building strong cross‑functional relationships, communicating technical risks, performance metrics, and improvement initiatives clearly and confidently.
Leading national mechanical engineering improvement projects, driving standardisation and best practice across all sites.
