Maintenance Craftperson Multi Skilled (Electrical Biased)
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an Electrically biased Craftsperson with a working background in electrical maintenance to join the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust Estates team.
The Alex Estates team are a friendly team; our objective is ensuring the hospital is fit for purpose from an Estates perspective ensuring patients have a safe environment to be cared for in.
For this post, we require the successful candidate to be experienced in the installation, operation, maintenance and repair of low voltage electrical plant and distribution systems, ideally (but not essentially) in a hospital environment.
