Keep a major hospital flowing safely — and be part of an Estates team that genuinely matters.
If you’re a qualified plumber with building services experience, this is a stable, long‑term role on a large, complex healthcare estate. You’ll be working in a Hard FM environment where your work directly supports clinical services, patient safety and day‑to‑day hospital operations.This isn’t just “fixing leaks” — you’ll be maintaining and supporting plant, services and complex systems across a busy hospital site, with the structure, support and purpose that comes with working in healthcare.
The Role
As a Maintenance Plumber, you’ll provide technical support across the Wythenshawe Hospital estate, helping keep building services running safely, compliantly and efficiently. You’ll deliver a mix of reactive repairs and planned work, completing jobs to a high standard and supporting a safe environment for patients, visitors and staff.

Maintaining the safe operation of plant and equipment across the hospital estate.
-
Carrying out repairs, new works, servicing, installation, maintenance and testing of building services systems.
-
Working to company/client procedures and statutory compliance, including H&S, safe systems of work, hygiene/cleanliness, fire safety and COSHH.

What we’re looking for
-
NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) and good building services knowledge
-
Strong maintenance experience: fault finding, diagnosing issues, reading drawings and repairing equipment
-
Organised approach with the ability to keep pace and meet deadlines
-
Clear communication, a positive attitude and a team-first mindset
-
Comfortable working both as part of a team and independently, staying calm under pressure
(Healthcare or large-site experience is useful — but not essential.)
