Capital, Coast and Hutt Valley District of Te Whatu Ora are looking for a Mechanical Systems Manager to lead and coordinate teams located within Wellington, Hutt and Kenepuru hospitals.

Our Mechanical team often describe themselves as the backbone of the hospital, and given the variety of mechanical services the hospital provides, from steam generation and large scale boilers through to heat pumps, chillers and refrigeration units, it - s fair to say that there is very little in the hospital that the mechanical team won - t be involved with.

You will be working closely with our projects team as a SME as well as providing technical and operational responses to business cases. Our aim is to ensure that our future work does not compromise our ability to deliver and maintain the mechanical systems.

Reporting to the Head of Technical Services you will be joining a collaborative team who are providing operational leadership with the aim of improving systems, growing people and initiating and implementing best practice across all trades.

This role provides a completive salary, flexible working arrangements, training and development and the opportunity for you to advance or further hone your skill base in a dynamic environment.
