Electrician

The Role

We are looking for a skilled person to join our team and help with the maintenance and repair of our Hospital. You will work with other staff and outside contractors to make sure everything runs smoothly and our service is friendly and efficient.

Your main tasks will include checking the water, heating, and gas systems every day, as well as looking over the plant rooms and monitoring the building’s control systems. You will test the generator once a month and handle small repairs and painting jobs as needed.

You will be responsible for electrical tasks such as replacing light bulbs, repairing emergency lighting, changing fuses, and exchanging plugs and sockets. Additionally, you’ll perform various general maintenance duties both inside and outside the premises. You will keep track of repair parts, order new ones when needed, and work with outside contractors. You will help with fire safety as the Deputy Fire Officer. You will be asked to help with projects, take on any other jobs that come up, and be available for on-call support outside of normal hours. This job needs someone who is hands on, flexible, and willing to help out wherever needed to keep the building safe and running well.

All aspects of your work will reflect the values, policies, and procedures of Marymount University Hospital & Hospice, directly supporting our mission to provide outstanding, person-centred care that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our patients and their families.

Informal enquires are welcome and can be directed to Mr Lloyd Weymouth by email to lweymouth@marymount.ie.
