Do you want to be part of the team responsible for keeping one of the Southwest’s top tourist attractions running smoothly and efficiently? The National Marine Aquarium at Plymouth is owned and run by the Ocean Conservation Trust (OCT), an organisation that focuses on habitat restoration and behaviour change. We are recruiting a Life Support Systems Engineer to work within the National Marine Aquarium, maintaining livestock and building services.
This is an interesting and varied engineering role, and not your average 9 to 5. Duties include upkeep and repair of critical life support systems, HVAC and building maintenance, as well as fault finding and problem-solving.
You’ll need to be a qualified and experienced engineer with a positive attitude and capacity for learning. Full training in aquatic systems will be provided. We are considering both mechanical and electrical bias for this role.
You’ll work a 3 day on, 3 day off shift pattern, including weekends and bank holidays. The engineering team provide out-of-hours emergency response services, which means it is essential that you live within a 30-minute commute of the aquarium.
The salary ranges between £32,000- £35,500 per annum with additional compensation for additional duties and call out, continuous training, a company pension scheme, life assurance, staff discount and your birthday off plus the opportunity to work in an excellent working environment.
To apply: Please email your full CV with a cover letter setting out your experience and suitability for the role to: Nathan.bowen@oceanconservationtrust.org
In line with current legislation, all applicants must be eligible to live and work in the UK. As part of the recruitment process, you will be asked to provide documented evidence of eligibility.
The OCT operates an Equality and Diversity Policy and is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community – a place where we can all be ourselves and succeed on merit. All applications will be judged solely on merit, however, we particularly welcome applications from groups currently underrepresented in the workforce.
Only candidates invited for an interview will be contacted.
