Frequently Asked Questions

What should I include when enquiring about a hard services vacancy?

Share the work location, employment type, equipment covered and essential qualifications or licences. Let us know whether the role is based at one site or involves travel, and whether it includes shifts, call-outs or contractor supervision. Contact our recruitment team to discuss the brief.

Can you help with temporary maintenance cover?

Yes. We support permanent recruitment as well as contract, fixed-term and interim appointments. For temporary cover, tell us the equipment involved, the start date, expected duration, working hours and any site requirements.

What is the difference between hard and soft services?

Hard services focus on building systems and equipment. Soft services cover services such as cleaning, security, reception and workplace support. An integrated facilities management contract can include both, with separate teams or contractors responsible for each.

What hard services roles does APAC FM Recruitment recruit for?

We recruit HVAC technicians, maintenance electricians, mechanical technicians, building services engineers, critical facilities technicians, engineering supervisors and technical services managers. The experience needed depends on the equipment, the site and whether the role involves hands-on work, supervision or both.

What are hard services in facilities management?

Hard services cover the physical systems that keep a building operating, including air conditioning, ventilation, electrical distribution, building controls and fire protection. The scope can include planned servicing, fault diagnosis, repairs and coordinating specialist contractors.
