Platinum Facilities has recruited 25 new team members for its dedicated mobile engineering division.

Platinum Mobile is specifically designed to serve client sites that do not require a full-time on-site engineer and to reduce reliance on subcontractors.

The mobile engineers cover disciplines including combustion, air conditioning, chillers, water treatment (including cooling towers and closed systems analysis), mechanical systems, and electrical engineering.

This new business unit will operate across London, the Home Counties, the South East, the South Coast and parts of Dorset, with expansion into the Midlands and North planned for late 2025.

As well as the 25 new full-time team members, Platinum has also invested in a new vehicle fleet, a standalone CAFM system for scheduling and reporting and a dedicated water treatment division. 

“Our vision is to continue evolving as a truly self-delivered specialist facilities service provider,” said Glen Cardinal, CEO of Platinum Facilities.

“Too often in our industry, providers act as intermediaries, relying heavily on large supply chains. This can make it harder to maintain full control over quality, responsiveness, competence and cost. By building our mobile engineering capability, we can reduce that reliance, focus entirely on our own clients, and deliver a service that is more agile, consistent and value driven. 

“This approach also supports our commitments to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by creating quality employment opportunities within the communities we serve. Platinum Mobile is a significant step towards our ambition of becoming a national provider of self-delivered engineering services,” he added.”
