Salary: Up to £35,000 per year plus mileage paid at 66p per mile for travel between sites (own vehicle required).

• Help build and develop a strong team ethos.
• Work at any hospital within the cluster to cover for engineering absence, attend meetings, or provide specialist advice or services to ensure continued operational coverage.

• Current CSCS card at appropriate level; electrically qualified candidates require current ECS card. Candidates without the appropriate card will not be considered.
• City & Guilds Part 3, ONC, NVQ Level 3, or equivalent in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
