We are currently recruiting for Fabric Engineers. The role will be based at Peterborough City Hospital, which is now regarded as the City's most significant building project since the cathedral was built in 1238.

The Fabric Engineer will report to and work closely with the Fabric Services Supervisor in relation to building fabric operations across Peterborough City Hospital, The Cavell Centre, and the City Care Centre. Responsibilities include undertaking planned preventative and reactive maintenance across a wide range of building fabric elements, including windows, doors, roofing, flooring, walls, furniture, fixtures, upholstery, MF and suspended ceilings, and various locking systems.

The role also requires carrying out minor external repairs to items such as block paving, drop kerbs, fencing and street furniture, as well as completing small installation works including worktops, cupboard units, shelving, and dry‑lining systems. The individual must be capable of organising and prioritising their own workload and working independently when required, while demonstrating a strong commitment, flexibility and a proactive approach to tasks as directed by the Fabric Services Supervisor.

To be successful in this role, the candidate should have relevant experience in building fabric maintenance, including both reactive and planned works, with experience in a healthcare environment considered advantageous. A positive attitude, willingness to learn, and a strong can‑do approach are essential. Experience or appropriate qualifications in fire door inspection and maintenance are desirable, although training can be provided. Familiarity with specialist materials and systems such as Sarnafil roofing and Tarkett or Altro flooring would be beneficial.

We invite applications from people of all genders, cultures and walks of life. Women and people from underrepresented groups are less likely to apply for roles if they don't meet every qualification. So even if you don't match all the criteria - if you are passionate about helping to construct a better future, we'd love to hear from you.

We are committed to providing a barrier‑free work environment and can support with reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process. Simply inform our Talent Acquisition team during your conversation with them.
