We are seeking an experienced person to join our on-site engineering team as a Mechanical Technician, reporting to the Mechanical Estates Officer. The post holder will be an active member of the Estates team responsible for carrying out and supervising the safe installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of the Trust's plant, equipment, and buildings.
The post holder will be required to work under pressure in emergency situations where the failure to act promptly or safely may result in serious injury, damage, or loss of life. Previous NHS experience is not essential, although it would be useful, and full supplementary training will be provided.
Please note:
This role includes the responsibility of being a member of the on-call team supporting the Trust out of hours.
Our people are our greatest asset. When we feel supported and happy at work, this positivity reaches those very people we are here for, the patients. Engaged employees perform at their best, and our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) initiatives contribute to cultivating a culture of engagement. We have four staff networks, a corporate EDI Team, and a suite of programmes and events which aim to insert the 5 aspirations: Improving representation at senior levels of staff with disabilities, from black, Asian, and ethnic minorities background, identify as LGBTQ+ and women, through improved recruitment and leadership development. Widening access (anchor institution) and employability. Improving the experience of staff with disability. Improving the EDI literacy and confidence of trust staff through training and development. Making equalities mainstream.
Knowledge, Training & Experience - The post holder will be responsible for carrying out and supervising the safe installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of the Trust’s plant, equipment, and buildings. This role will require significant training and experience in commercial mechanical building services supporting large, complex systems such as heating, hot and cold water, ventilation and air conditioning, passenger lifts and lifting equipment, internal and external drainage, etc. Ideally, you will have an understanding and experience of steam-operated plant and equipment.
You will require a well-developed understanding of a range of work procedures and practices, the majority of which are non-routine, and which require intermediate level theoretical knowledge through formal training to NVQ 4, or equivalent, with at least 5 years of relevant working experience.
As well as the full range of duties associated with the post holder's core skills, i.e., installation, reactive and preventative maintenance, diagnosing faults, carrying out repairs, modifications, calibration, etc., the role often requires specialisation and a multi-skilled approach. Team members have responsibilities in nominated specialist Estates roles, such as Authorised Person for Water, Ventilation, Work at Height, Confined Space, Pressure Systems, or Medical Gases. This role may also be required for supporting specific projects or tasks, and the coaching, training, or development of others.
