Maintenance Recruitment.

When a chiller fails at 3am, when a site loses power mid-shift, when an HVAC unit goes down during a heatwave — the quality of your maintenance team is the difference between a non-event and a headline. CBW Staffing Solutions recruits the engineers, trades and maintenance leaders who keep UK estates running.

We place across the full maintenance and engineering stack — mobile engineers, shift engineers, static engineers, HVAC specialists, multi-skilled trades, and the supervisors and managers who lead them. Permanent, contract, freelance and project-based. Our consultants have spent years on the technical recruitment desk and know the difference between an M&E candidate who reads well on paper and one who'll actually hit the ground running on your site.

Why clients choose CBW for maintenance recruitment

Technical screening, not just CV-matching

Every engineering candidate is screened by a consultant who understands the technical vocabulary. We validate tickets (18th Edition, F-Gas, NVQ Level 3, L8 Water Hygiene, etc.) before candidates reach your shortlist — so when a CV says "multi-skilled", we know it actually is.

Fast-turn on mobile and shift cover

We keep a live pool of vetted mobile and shift engineers — most of whom have worked with us on multiple contracts. When you need cover fast, we can often deliver same-week.

100 years of FM and engineering DNA

This isn't a generalist agency that also places engineers. Our consultants have spent their careers in FM and engineering recruitment. That reputation is why candidates return to us for their next move — which means we can often reach engineers who aren't actively on the market.
