Are you someone who takes pride in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes?
Do you enjoy hands-on work and thrive when no two days are the same? If you're experienced in general maintenance and repairs - and ideally can turn your hand to a bit of welding too - this could be the perfect role for you.

We're working with a fast-paced, well-established manufacturer known for their quality products and consistent investment in their people and site. They're looking for someone proactive, practical and reliable to join their team and help keep the site safe, clean, and well maintained.

This is what you'll be doing:

You'll take responsibility for the general upkeep of the site and its buildings, carrying out a wide variety of basic repair and maintenance tasks including:

• Tiling, painting, plastering, basic plumbing and general carpentry
• Supporting the engineering team when required
• Completing minor welding jobs (basic welds only)
• Maintaining the factory and surrounding areas to high standards
• Working from task lists and audits, and helping drive the team's 'can-do' culture

The experience you'll bring to the team:

• A couple of years' experience in a similar hands-on repair or site maintenance role
• Competency with general DIY/handyman tasks
• Basic welding skills (MIG or stick is fine!)
• Comfortable working both indoors and outdoors
• A good understanding of health & safety
• A self-starter with a clean-as-you-go approach and good communication skills

And this is what you'll get in return:

• £30,000 annual salary
• Monday to Friday day shift - sociable hours
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• 6% employer pension contribution
• 4x Life Assurance
• Medical Benefits as well as paid company sickness
• Long service recognition
• Working for a market leader with strong growth plans
