Milton Keynes University Hospital are excited to announce that we have had a business case approved to expand our Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) cardiology and respiratory services. We are currently recruiting several roles, from Chief Physiologist to Driver, within the Medicine division and Estates department.
We are currently hiring a Mechanical Fitter/Plumber to undertake maintenance repairs and minor improvement, ensuring compliance with Trust safety standards and procedures. You will be working on water systems, ventilation systems, steam systems, air tube systems, heating and cooling plants, and other mechanical equipment.
The successful postholder will sometimes need to identify maintenance issues on your own, so you’ll need to have confidence working without supervision on occasions and be able to communicate effectively. Additionally, you will be working collaboratively with the Estates Services Manager, Maintenance Manager, Mechanical Supervisor and Estates Officers.
If you’re looking for a change of career, develop your knowledge or wanting to work in a new and expanding environment, now is a great time to contribute your existing skills with #TeamMKUH.
