The Estates department at Westmorland General Hospital is a group of highly skilled electrical and mechanical engineers, creative building craftsperson, and dedicated support staff.

You should be experienced, time served, and suitably qualified in mechanical fitting, manufacturing, or vehicle maintenance and fault finding - as skills are transferable. ### Main duties of the job This is a highly rewarding role. Working under the Mechanical Estates Officer, the successful candidate will embark on a challenging adventure, safely, efficiently, and with patient and staff safety at the heart of their focus. 'Working as part of a team, and individually, you will be required to carry out mechanical maintenance and installation work within acute and community NHS properties. This will be on heating, ventilation, pressure systems. There may also be additional work on systems such as air conditioning, medical gases, and other healthcare related mechanical services - with full training. The successful candidate must be able to self-motivate, work relatively unsupervised, and be a good communicator on all levels. Flexible working will be required where you will assist other trades and undertake other tasks to maintain the building services. A healthcare background would be advantageous but not essential - as specific training will be provided. If you have experience of ventilation and/or air conditioning, we particularly want to hear from you.
