The Role

Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will lead a multi-disciplinary team of mechanical, electrical, and building trade staff, alongside specialist subcontractors.

• Service Delivery: Maintain a high level of client satisfaction by responding to emergency situations and participating in the emergency call‑out rota.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will be a client‑focused professional with a "can‑do" attitude and a deep understanding of building services within a hospital or high‑uptime environment.

Essential Requirements

• Qualifications: A recognised mechanical trade apprenticeship and/or Level 3 technical qualification (Mechanical discipline).

• Technical Expertise: Comprehensive mechanical and electrical knowledge, ideally gained within a healthcare or similar building services environment.

• AP Experience: Previous experience in Authorised Person (AP) roles (e.g., Medical Gas, Pressure Systems, Water, or Fire) is highly desirable.

• Leadership: Proven experience in a supervisory or lead capacity, with the ability to manage diverse trade groups and subcontractors.

• Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills and a commitment to high‑quality customer service.

• Compliance: Ability to obtain and maintain DBS clearance.
