The Role

You’ll be working across Mechanical, boiler and steam systems within a live hospital environment, covering both planned and reactive works. The role includes PPMs, breakdowns, fault finding, and general mechanical maintenance, alongside maintaining compliance records and using a tablet to complete job reports.

You’ll also be expected to support energy efficiency improvements and maintain good working relationships with the on-site client team.

Location

The role is primarily based at a large Hospital in Hastings, with very occasional travel to a site in Canary Wharf. Ideal candidates will be based around Hastings, Sevenoaks, or nearby areas.

Hours

Monday to Friday, 08:00–17:00, with a call-out rota of 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off (flexible and open to discussion).

Salary & Benefits

Basic salary up to £55,000

Overtime is paid at enhanced rates: time and a half evenings, double time overnight, weekends paid at time and a half rising to double time, and double time plus a day in lieu for bank holidays.

What You’ll Need
