Building Engineer - Facilities Management

London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) is a world-class academic health sciences centre located in the southwestern Ontario city of London. As one of Canada's largest acute-care teaching hospitals, LHSC delivers world-class care and experiences, built on our commitment to excellence in research, innovation, and learning. In partnership with our communities, we design and advance healthcare to support the wellness of the populations we serve.

As a Building Engineer, you'll play a vital role in the safe, reliable, and efficient operations of London Health Sciences Centre. Reporting to the Coordinator, Facilities Management, you'll work behind the scenes to ensure the critical infrastructure that patients, families, and healthcare teams rely on every day is operating at its best. This is a hands-on, technically diverse role where no two days are necessarily the same. You'll monitor and maintain critical building systems, including HVAC, electrical, steam, water and waste systems, fire alarm systems, and medical gas distribution. You'll conduct inspections, complete preventative maintenance, troubleshoot and repair mechanical and electro-mechanical equipment, and make adjustments to optimize system performance.

You’ll also work with building automation and control systems, respond to operational challenges, and contribute to facilities projects and improvements. Your ability to troubleshoot, think critically, and act quickly will help keep hospital operations safe, comfortable, and uninterrupted.

If you're a technically skilled professional who enjoys solving problems, working with complex systems, and knowing that your work has a meaningful impact, this is an opportunity to put your expertise to work where it matters most by supporting exceptional patient care every day.
