You'll be responsible for completing day-to-day repairs and maintenance, identifying defects and ensuring buildings remain safe, presentable and well maintained.

The position will involve a broad range of fabric and handyman duties, so we're looking for someone who is comfortable turning their hand to different maintenance tasks rather than specialising in just one trade.

• Ensure all work is completed safely and to a high standard

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with previous experience within Facilities Management, Building Maintenance, Property Maintenance or a similar environment.

You don't necessarily need to be a specialist in every trade, but you'll need a good all-round maintenance skillset and be confident carrying out a variety of building repairs independently.

Experience could include:

• Building fabric maintenance

• Carpentry / joinery

• Basic plumbing

• Painting and decorating

• Plastering / making good

• Professional and customer focused

• Full UK Driving Licence

A recognised trade qualification in carpentry, joinery, plumbing, building maintenance or a similar discipline would be advantageous but isn't essential where you have strong relevant experience.

Join a National FM Provider

You'll be joining an established national Facilities Management provider with a large commercial customer portfolio and opportunities for continued training and career development.

This is a good opportunity for an experienced Fabric Engineer who wants the stability of a major FM business while retaining the variety that comes with a mobile maintenance role.
