Who We're Looking For

Our people are united by a common belief: that we can outperform in everything we do.

We are currently recruiting for a Semi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer. The role will be based at Peterborough City Hospital. Peterborough City Hospital is now regarded as the City's most significant building project since the cathedral was built in 1238. The healthcare campus features: a 612-bed, 22-theatre Major Acute Hospital; a 98-bed Mental Health Unit; a 39-bed City Care Centre; a multi storey car park; helicopter pad; hard and soft landscaping and highway works.

The role involves supporting the maintenance of a broad range of building services and systems across Peterborough City Hospital, including electrical, mechanical, fabric, BMS, nurse call, fire alarms, boilers, pressure systems, water‑based systems, and other specialist systems. Working as part of a multi‑skilled maintenance team, you will assist with planned and reactive maintenance, help diagnose faults, and contribute to the safe and continuous operation of hospital systems.

You will work flexibly across different engineering disciplines, supporting cooperation within the team and liaising with hospital departments where required. The role also involves following management systems and work order processes to help ensure all contractual KPIs are met, as well as working alongside contractors, supporting permits to work, and maintaining high standards of safety and compliance.

A proactive and flexible approach is essential, with a willingness to support the wider team and contribute to the smooth running of a complex and critical healthcare environment.

What do I need to be successful in this role?

• Experience or exposure to electrical, mechanical, or fabric services
• A willingness to learn and develop skills across multiple disciplines
• Basic fault-finding capability and a proactive, problem-solving approach
• Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a team
• Flexibility to work the hours that support the needs of the client
• A positive, team-focused attitude with a willingness to support all aspects of site operations.

A Note On Diversity

Diversity is about celebrating the ways we are all different and appreciating the unique qualities that every employee brings. We invite applications from people of all genders, cultures and walks of life. Research shows that women and people from underrepresented groups are less like to apply for roles if they don't meet every qualification. So even if you don't match all the criteria - if you are passionate about helping to construct a better future, we'd love to hear from you.

We are committed to providing a barrier-free work environment and can support with reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process. Simply inform our Talent Acquisition team during your conversation with them.
