Join our Estates & Facilities team and help shape the future of NHS Lanarkshire.
We’re looking for two experienced and motivated Assistant Maintenance Managers to join our dynamic Estates Department at University Hospital Monklands — one specialising in Water Systems and one specialising in Building Fabric. These roles offer an exciting opportunity to support the safe, compliant, and efficient operation of critical infrastructure across a complex acute hospital environment.
You’ll support the Maintenance Services Managers in delivering safe, reliable, and compliant engineering services across a complex acute hospital estate. The role involves assisting with contract management, maintenance planning, and statutory compliance – particularly across water safety and related building services.
About You
You’ll be professionally qualified in an appropriate engineering or building services discipline, with experience in maintenance operations, auditing, and contractor management. Strong organisational, problem-solving, and communication skills are essential, as is a proactive approach to service improvement.
What We Offer
1. A structured pathway for development and progression
2. Involvement in innovative projects supporting NHS Lanarkshire’s sustainability goals
3. The chance to work as part of a highly skilled and forward-thinking Estates team
This is an outstanding opportunity to grow your career within a supportive environment committed to technical excellence and patient-centred service delivery.
Why Join NHS Lanarkshire?
Joining NHS Lanarkshire means becoming part of one of Scotland’s most progressive and forward-thinking health boards, with a strong commitment to staff development, wellbeing, and long-term investment in modern healthcare infrastructure.
A Great Opportunity for Career Growth

Be Part of a Major Transformation
The organisation is entering one of the most exciting periods in its history with the development of the new Monklands Replacement Hospital — a once-in-a-generation project set to deliver a state-of-the-art, fully digital, low-carbon acute hospital. Joining the team now means you’ll be directly involved in shaping the future of healthcare delivery in Lanarkshire and supporting the transition from the existing Monklands site to a modern, efficient, future-ready facility.
