We’re looking for a practical and proactive Facilities Maintenance Technician to take responsibility for the day-to-day maintenance, upkeep and presentation of a commercial site.
This is a varied, hands-on role covering both internal building maintenance and external grounds. No two days will be exactly the same, so this would suit someone who enjoys practical problem-solving, takes pride in their surroundings and likes taking ownership of getting things sorted.

* Complete basic plumbing, carpentry, joinery, painting and decorating tasks within your level of competency.
* Repair or replace basic fixtures and fittings.
* Adjust doors, locks, handles, shelving and furniture.
* Investigate straightforward building faults and escalate specialist work where required.
* Assist with furniture moves and room set-ups.
* Keep maintenance, storage and plant areas safe, tidy and organised.
* Maintain external areas including grass cutting, hedge trimming, weeding and strimming.
* Carry out leaf, debris and general external clearance.
* Maintain pathways, entrances, landscaped areas and car parks.
* Support seasonal maintenance including snow and ice preparation.
* Carry out routine building and maintenance checks following appropriate training.
* Record completed maintenance work and report defects promptly.
* Respond to reactive maintenance issues including leaks, drainage problems and minor damage.
* Liaise with and support external contractors attending site.
* Maintain tools, equipment and maintenance stock.
* Identify replacement parts and materials required.
* Keep accurate maintenance records and provide updates on completed work.
* Proactively identify issues before they develop into larger problems.
Key Requirements of the Facilities Maintenance Technician:
* Previous experience within building maintenance, facilities maintenance, property maintenance, grounds maintenance or a similar practical role.
* Strong general DIY and maintenance skills.
* Confident using common hand and power tools safely.
* Comfortable carrying out both indoor and outdoor work throughout the year.
* Good practical problem-solving skills.
* Able to work independently and organise your own workload.
* Able to recognise when specialist or regulated work needs to be escalated.
* Reliable, proactive and willing to take ownership of tasks.
* Good communication skills and attention to detail.
* Comfortable using a phone, tablet or computer to update maintenance records.
Experience within basic plumbing, carpentry, decorating, commercial facilities maintenance, grounds maintenance or planned preventative maintenance would be beneficial.
Knowledge of water hygiene, fire-door checks, manual handling, working at height or qualifications such as PASMA/IPAF would also be useful, although training can be provided where appropriate.
A full UK driving licence would be beneficial.
Above all, we’re looking for someone practical, dependable and proactive who notices when something needs attention and takes responsibility for getting it resolved
