Senior Maintenance Technician
Location: Leeds
Salary: Up to £35,000 per annum
Job Type: Permanent, Full-Time
The Opportunity
We are recruiting for an experienced Senior Maintenance Technician to join a facilities team based in Leeds.
This is a hands-on position suited to an experienced maintenance professional who is confident carrying out a broad range of repairs and planned maintenance, while also providing day-to-day guidance and support to a small team of more junior operatives.
This is not a desk-based supervisory role . You'll remain actively involved in maintenance work across the site, responding to issues, diagnosing faults and completing repairs yourself, while helping to ensure the wider team works effectively and to a consistently high standard.
The Role
As Senior Maintenance Technician, you'll act as a senior presence within the maintenance team and provide practical support and guidance to junior colleagues.
Your responsibilities will include:
Carrying out planned and reactive maintenance across the site
Completing a broad range of hands-on repairs and general building maintenance
Diagnosing faults and resolving maintenance issues efficiently
Undertaking minor plumbing, basic electrical, carpentry, painting, decorating and general fabric repairs within your level of competence
Responding to maintenance requests and ensuring issues are dealt with promptly
Providing practical guidance and support to junior maintenance operatives
Helping to allocate and prioritise day-to-day maintenance tasks
Checking completed works and helping maintain a high standard across the team
Supporting and developing less experienced members of the maintenance team
Identifying when specialist contractors are required and escalating more complex issues appropriately
Liaising with contractors and other site teams where required
Ensuring maintenance work is completed safely and in accordance with relevant procedures
Maintaining accurate records of works completed
Proactively identifying maintenance issues before they develop into larger problems
Supporting the wider Facilities Management team with the smooth day-to-day operation of the site
About You
We're looking for someone who has built up strong practical maintenance experience and is comfortable taking on additional responsibility within a team.
You'll ideally have:
Previous experience within a hands-on building maintenance, facilities or property environment
Strong general maintenance and repair skills
Experience across multiple areas of building maintenance rather than a single specialist trade
A proactive approach to fault finding and problem solving
Previous experience supporting, mentoring or guiding junior team members
The confidence to take the lead on maintenance issues when required
Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively with colleagues, contractors and building users
A strong understanding of health & safety within a maintenance environment
Good organisation skills and the ability to prioritise competing maintenance requirements
A reliable, practical and hands-on approach
A relevant trade or maintenance qualification would be advantageous, although strong practical experience will be equally important.
What's on Offer?
Salary up to £35,000 per annum
Permanent opportunity based in Leeds
A senior position with responsibility for guiding and supporting junior operatives
A varied, genuinely hands-on maintenance role
Opportunity to take greater responsibility without moving away from practical maintenance work
Interested?
If you're an experienced Maintenance Technician, Multi-Skilled Technician or Senior Handyperson looking to take the next step in your career while remaining hands-on, we'd be keen to hear from you.
