Experienced in mechanical maintenance or building services? Ready for a new opportunity?

Manpower is recruiting a qualified engineer to maintain mechanical plant and building services in a busy healthcare environment.

Develop your expertise working on specialist engineering systems, with technical training and the opportunity to move into permanent employment.

What you'll do

  • Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM), fault finding and reactive repairs.
  • Maintain heating, ventilation, hot water and associated mechanical and electrical services.
  • Service specialist equipment, including sterilisation and decontamination systems.
  • Follow safety procedures and work alongside contractors.
  • Join an on-call rota and work one weekend day per month, with a day off in lieu the following week.

What you'll need

  • A recognised mechanical trade apprenticeship.
  • NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds Level 3 or equivalent engineering qualification.
  • Experience in mechanical, facilities or building services maintenance.
  • Strong fault-finding skills and ability to work independently.
  • Flexibility for on-call and out-of-hours duties.

Healthcare experience is desirable, not essential.
