{"interviewQueryText":"What are some good interview questions in British English for the job description below?\n\n-------------------------------------------\n\nPrincipal Engineer - Medical Gas, Asbestos & Water with Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust in London\n\n We are looking to recruit into the role of Principle Engineer and Coordinating Authorised Person (AP) for Medical Gas, Lifts, Asbestos and PSSR . The successful candidate will coordinate, develop and help manage the engineering team, subject-matter experts and relevant APs to ensure overall engineering compliance and safety (including oversight and audit of the various Safe Systems of Work (SSoW) for all Mechanical and Electrical disciplines to Fabric including but not limited to Asbestos, confined spaces and working at height). Whilst the role will be to help oversee and coordinate all APs aspects of the hard FM Service (as well as to be part of all external AE audits to allow an overall and 'overview' compliance understanding, to manage the outcomes) a strong building services mechanical engineering bias would be an advantage to this role (as this is a subject matter area the Trust recognises it needs to develop better resilience and compliance). The role would be an independent position to the wider appointed Trust Authorised Persons, however there may also be a need for this Coordinating AP to support a short-term resource needs or project needs (so a good overall level of multidiscipline engineering competency will be required including, ideally, being a Chartered Engineer C.Eng.). The role will be to help ensure the overall engineering governance and standards for the Trust are managed to Good Industry Practice (GIP) and within the best practice defined by the Health Technical Memoranda document set including HTM 00. Where this is not the case the individual will clearly commutate this with upper management and provide sustainable solutions to mitigate short term risks or system weakness whilst supporting the plans for longer term fixes. This will be a role that will have both professional responsibility (so competency, training and time-served practice in both healthcare and healthcare engineering infrastructure and systems is a must) as well as ensuring regular reporting to senior management on current state of play and/or system or infrastructure weaknesses. The coordinating role will also require excellent people skills as well as leadership however the role will also be supporting by operational management who will also support and act on finding and recommendations made. The successful candidate will be asked to contribute to the strategic plans for the estate including supporting the long terms plans for the estate strategy, including capital upgrades and development work. There will also be an expectation that the post holder will support the Head of Estates and the Senior Operational Estates Manager who manage the overall service.
