They will also carry out planned inspection, servicing, and compliance testing to ensure the Trust maintains full operational resilience and statutory compliance.

The role includes the operation and monitoring of the Building Management System (BMS) — such as Trend — to observe plant performance, adjust control parameters within agreed limits, and respond to system alarms to support energy efficiency and environmental control.

The post holder will be formally appointed as a Competent Person (CP) under relevant engineering disciplines as defined by HTM and JSP guidance and will be expected to work in accordance with the Trust’s Permit‑to‑Work and Authorisation frameworks.

This is a practical, hands‑on role requiring a multi‑skilled technician with sound engineering knowledge, strong problem‑solving ability, and a commitment to maintaining a safe, compliant, and patient‑focused hospital environment.
