The Estates department at Royal Lancaster infirmary is a group of highly skilled electrical and mechanical engineers, creative building craftsperson, and dedicated support staff.

We are looking to recruit a motivated and enthusiastic person to join us.

This is a highly rewarding role. Working under the Mechanical Estates Officer, the successful candidate will embark on a challenging adventure, safely, efficiently, and with patient and staff safety at the heart of their focus.
