Engineering Opportunities – Join Us

Do you seek a career with diversity, variety, one with a team focused ethos with the ability to enable change to people’s lives?

Due to substantial government funding being granted to develop the Trust’s estate, a number of appealing opportunities have arisen within the Estates Department to support the Capital projects team in delivery of Capital, Backlog Maintenance and Critical Infrastructure Tasks. These exciting roles provide the opportunity to work in a very diverse environment using highly specialised equipment unique to healthcare and promise a rewarding engineering career in a setting which is often overlooked by many.

No two days will be alike when you work within an Acute Hospital setting; the diverse nature of the work could see you traverse the corridors of the hospital moving between Plant Rooms that serve the Operating Theatres, numerous Mechanical Plants and Medical Gas systems, not forgetting the Boiler House, the Emergency Standby Generators and also the Wards to name but a few.

As an NHS Engineer you need to have a multi-skilled tool bag that contains  softer personal skills too, the ability to work with people at all levels, the ability to communicate whilst not losing sight of the fact that patient care is at the centre of everything we do.

Your professional development and career progression is also important and there are various ways to continuously develop and further your career within the NHS.

Those already working here admit that a major advantage is the great work life balance, the teamwork and the ability to make a difference…  Working locally and being at home at the end of the working day is a huge selling point, many of our employees have endured the long distance travel involved with other jobs which can eventually take its toll.
