Medical Devices Engineer-Equipment Audit & Asset Register Project

The post holder will provide a high-quality medical device audit and asset assurance service across the Trust, using their specialist Clinical/Medical Engineering knowledge to identify, verify and accurately record medical equipment and reconcile physical equipment against the Trust's medical device asset register.

The post holder will be responsible for undertaking systematic physical audits of medical devices across clinical and non-clinical areas, verifying equipment identification, asset numbers, serial numbers, manufacturer, model, location, ownership and status. They will identify and appropriately escalate discrepancies, unregistered or missing equipment, obsolete assets, equipment with unclear ownership and devices requiring further technical or safety assessment.

The post holder will apply professional engineering judgement to identify potential clinical safety, maintenance, compliance and governance risks associated with medical devices encountered during the audit and ensure these are escalated to the appropriate Clinical/Medical Engineering lead.

The post holder will work collaboratively with clinical services, Clinical Engineering, Medical Engineering, Estates, Procurement, Finance and other stakeholders to resolve asset-record discrepancies and improve the accuracy and completeness of the Trust's medical device asset register.

The post holder will maintain accurate audit records, update approved asset-management systems and databases, monitor outstanding actions and contribute to progress reporting and the final project report.

The post holder will also support the identification of medical devices requiring future replacement, decommissioning or further investigation, providing accurate information to support medical device governance, lifecycle management and future capital replacement planning.

The post holder will be expected to work independently across St Helier Hospital and Epsom Hospital, manage competing priorities and complete the allocated audit workload within the five-month project timeframe.
