Education Requirements

The ideal candidate will have a background in mechanical work within the building industry or maintenance sector. This practical experience is valued as much as formal qualifications in this technical role.

While specific academic qualifications are less emphasized than practical skills, candidates with relevant technical qualifications, particularly those recognized in the UK, will have an advantage. The Trust values ongoing learning and professional development.

For international candidates, the employer will assess equivalency of overseas qualifications and experience. The certificate of sponsorship process will require verification of all claimed qualifications and credentials.

NVQ Level 3 or completion of a recognized apprenticeship in a relevant trade is essential. Alternatively, equivalent experience within the trade specialism will be considered.

Candidates must be able to interpret and work from drawings and specifications, demonstrating a practical ability to understand technical documentation. This skill is fundamental to the role’s requirements.

The ability to work without supervision while maintaining quality standards is crucial, as is the willingness to work flexibly and cover maintenance on a variety of plant and equipment. These requirements ensure the department can respond effectively to varying demands.

Desirable Qualifications

Health and Safety qualifications or modules of technical qualifications such as IOSH One Day Working Safely or CSCS Gold card are highly desirable. These credentials demonstrate commitment to professional standards.

Essential Experience

Demonstrable ability to interpret and fault-find on a diverse range of complex mechanical/electrical systems and installations is essential. This core skill ensures the technician can diagnose and resolve issues efficiently.

Effective communication skills, both verbal and written, are vital for liaising with team members, managers, and external contractors. The role requires clear reporting of work undertaken and issues identified.

The ability to work effectively under pressure and demonstrate competence in dealing with difficult or stressful circumstances is essential, particularly when responding to emergency call-outs during the on-duty periods.

Job Responsibilities

The primary responsibilities include performing multi-skilled maintenance tasks, with a focus on mechanical engineering systems. This encompasses installation, repair, and maintenance of hot and cold-water systems, heating systems, and associated controls.

Water hygiene control forms a significant part of the role, requiring knowledge of relevant regulations and best practices to ensure patient and staff safety. This includes routine testing and treatment of water systems.
