Medical equipment is used for medical treatment and diagnosis of patients in all areas of a hospital and beyond. Having fully functional and accurate medical equipment is essential for the safe diagnosis and treatment of patients, and it is the Medical Equipment Management service that is responsible for that equipment.

We work across ten hospital sites in NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, managing the full life cycle of over 55,000 medical equipment devices, completing over 60,000 jobs per year.

You will work with a wide range of medical devices including high and medium risk equipment, for example an infusion pump. You will undertake a 2-year competency-based training programme which will develop your skills to enable you to commission, calibrate, performance assure and repair a wide range of medical equipment.

We are looking for people that are passionate about medical equipment, patient safety, engineering and helping people. People that work well in a team and have a desire to learn.
