Advanced Engineer - Mechanical (HVAC) | East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust

The Estates department at Westmorland General Hospital is a group of highly skilled electrical and mechanical engineers, creative building craftpersons, and dedicated support staff.

We are looking to recruit a motivated and enthusiastic person to join us.

You should be experienced, time served and suitably qualified in mechanical fitting or plumbing and fault finding.

A mechanical fitting/manufacturing/Heating background, particularly within healthcare, would be advantageous but not essential - as specific training will be provided.

This is a highly rewarding role. Working under the Mechanical Team Leader, the successful candidate will embark on a challenging adventure, safely, efficiently, and with patient and staff safety at the heart of their focus.

Working as part of a team, and individually, you will be required to carry out mechanical maintenance work within acute and community NHS properties. This will be on heating and pressure systems, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, medical gases, and other healthcare related mechanical services.

The successful candidate must be able to self-motivate, work relatively unsupervised, and be a good communicator on all levels. Flexible working will be required where you will assist other trades and undertake other tasks to maintain the building services.

The successful candidate will be required to join an on-call team to provide an out of hours emergency response - after an initial training period.
