About the Role
The Estates department at Westmorland General Hospital is a group of highly skilled electrical and mechanical engineers, creative building craftpersons, and dedicated support staff.
We are looking to recruit a motivated and enthusiastic person to join us.
Requirements
You should be experienced, time served, and suitably qualified in mechanical fitting or plumbing and fault finding.
- A mechanical fitting/manufacturing/Heating background, particularly within healthcare, would be advantageous but not essential - as specific training will be provided.
Responsibilities
Working under the Mechanical Team Leader, 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 work within acute and community NHS properties. This will be on heating and pressure systems, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, medical gases, and other healthcare related mechanical services.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Qualities
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.
Additional Information
The successful candidate will be required to join an on-call team to provide an out of hours emergency response - after an initial training period.
