Senior Multi-skilled Engineer

If you're a proficient and highly motivated Multiskilled engineer, join our team of senior technicians maintaining staff, patient and visitor safety.

With an electrical, mechanical or building services background, your expertise will support our multidisciplinary team in a range of vital works. Familiarity of maintaining a large campus with a range of buildings, from state-of-the-art new builds to historic buildings, would be beneficial.

A varied daily workload requires a range of skills so a broad engineering background is advantageous. Strong problem-solving skills and the desire to see jobs through to completion will be crucial in tasks such as reactive maintenance, planned preventative maintenance, fault-finding, escalation reporting and compliance.

Excellent training and progression options are available with opportunities to work towards a Competent/Appointed Person (CP & AP) position for a range of disciplines according to the requirements of the Department.

You will participate in the 'on-call' rota and with the stability of being primarily based at Southmead Hospital, support to other Trust premises within the Bristol locality will be necessary from time to time.
