Previous applicants need not apply*

So much more than just fixing heating

We need a great Mechanical Fitter to join our team to help keep our hospital environment safe, operational and supporting the health and wellbeing of our patients, staff and visitors - day in day out. No mean feat We really mean it when we say no two days are the same - it’s a blend of planned maintenance coupled with emergency repairs and everything in between.

Most superheroes wear a cape - yet you will be issued with our easily recognisable Hospital uniform and will work as part of a team with five or six colleagues carrying out all manner of planned preventative maintenance, repairs to engineering plant and equipment.

Owing to the skills and experience you possess, this is without supervision as we trust you to be in charge of your own work activity. Many of the repairs will need to be attended to urgently and some aspects of the work can be hazardous but this will be a walk in the park for you.

We cannot even begin to tell you what a great place this is to work, with so many interesting and intricate engineering systems that you just won’t find anywhere else - so much different to day to day installation works and working on cold wet construction sites.. You will demonstrate a good working knowledge of mechanical heating/ventilation systems in compliance with all statutory requirements and good practice guidelines - it’s likely you will be able to teach us a thing or two
