Mechanical Technician
We are seeking an experienced person to join our on-site engineering team as a Mechanical Technician, reporting to the Mechanical Officer, who will be an active member of the Estates team responsible for carrying out, leading, and supervising the safe installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of the Trust's plant, equipment, and buildings.
The post holder will be required to work under pressure in emergency situations where the failure to act promptly or safely may result in serious injury, damage, or loss of life. Previous NHS experience is not essential although would be useful, and full supplementary training will be provided.
Please note: This role includes the responsibility of being a member of the on-call team supporting the Trust out of hours.
Key Responsibilities
- Carrying out and supervising the safe installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of the Trust’s mechanical building services such as heating, hot and cold water, ventilation and air conditioning, passenger lifts and lifting equipment, internal and external drainage, etc. and ideally you will have an understanding and experience of steam operated plant and equipment.
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.
You will require a well-developed understanding of a range of work procedures and practices, the majority of which are non-routine, and which require intermediate level theoretical knowledge acquired through formal training to NVQ 4, or equivalent, with at least 5 years of relevant working experience.
As well as the full range of duties associated with the post holder's core skills, i.e., installation, reactive and preventative maintenance, diagnose faults, carry out repairs, modifications, calibration, etc., the role often requires specialisation and a multi-skilled approach with team members having responsibilities in nominated specialist Estates roles, such as Authorised Person for Water, Ventilation, Work at Height, Confined Space, Pressure Systems, or Medical Gases. This role may also be required for supporting specific projects or tasks, and the coaching, training, or development of others.
