Job Opportunity: Electrical Maintenance Craftsperson

We’re looking for a skilled Electrical Maintenance Craftsperson to join our multi-disciplinary team in the Estates Services Department, part of the Facilities & Infrastructure Directorate at NHS Forth Valley.

• New electrical installations

Your efforts will help keep both the interior and exterior of all NHS Forth Valley buildings in good condition, supporting a safe and effective environment for patients, visitors, and staff in a busy modern healthcare setting.
Travel across the Forth Valley area is a core part of the job, so you’ll need to be able and willing to get to different locations as required.
