  • Join a world-class institution with a culture of inclusion, innovation, and impact
  • Lead a high-performing team and oversee critical engineering systems
  • Influence strategic estates decisions and contribute to capital and sustainability projects
  • Be part of a hospital that's redefining paediatric care through cutting-edge infrastructure


Essential criteria required:

  • Degree or equivalent experience in Mechanical Engineering or Building Services
  • AP certification in relevant systems (e.g. Medical Gases, HVAC, Lifts, Water)
  • Proven leadership in estates operations within complex healthcare environments
  • Strong knowledge of HTMs, HBNs, and statutory compliance frameworks
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement, project delivery, and team management skills
