  Job summary

  Are you passionate about engineering and ready to launch your career in a dynamic NHS environment? We are offering an exciting opportunity to join St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as a Building Services Engineering Apprentice (Band 2). We are recruiting three apprentices for this structured three-year, full-time programme, which combines on-the-job learning with academic study at London South Bank University, leading to an HND in Building Services Engineering.

  Main duties of the job

  As an apprentice, you'll support the Estates team with both planned and reactive maintenance across a wide range of mechanical, electrical, and public health systems. You'll assist with inspections, installations, fault-finding, and repair tasks on key services such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical power and lighting, and life safety systems. Day-to-day responsibilities include recording meter readings, carrying out plant checks, using diagnostic tools, and working alongside qualified engineers in real operational environments.

  About us

  St George's is one of the UK's largest and busiest teaching hospitals. As part of our Estates & Facilities team, you'll play a vital role in ensuring the Trust's buildings and infrastructure operate safely and efficiently. We will provide PPE, toolkits, mentoring, and structured training to help you grow. You'll be part of a supportive team committed to developing future engineering talent while upholding our Trust values: Excellent, Kind, Responsible, and Respectful.

  After years of collaboration, our two Trusts became a hospitals group in 2021. While remaining as two separate Trusts, being a hospitals group will help us to collaborate more closely on research, and the development, education, and training of our 17,000-strong workforce.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
