The Company

Our client is a well-established, award-winning mechanical, electrical and construction contractor. It often operates as principal contractor and has the in-house capability to design, build and maintain projects from start to finish.

Requirements

• Essential: a proven track record of managing hospital or healthcare construction projects valued between £1m and £3m
• Strong knowledge of working in live healthcare environments, including HTMs, HBNs and infection control procedures
• SMSTS, a valid CSCS card and a first aid qualification
• A construction-related qualification (HNC, HND or degree) is desirable
