Job description

Estates Maintenance Operative

Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens | Mannings Heath Golf & Wine Estate | Sutton Offices

We are looking for a hands-on, enthusiastic individual to join our small but busy maintenance team, working across two beautiful estates in the Horsham area and our offices in Sutton. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who has a foundation of practical skills and is keen to develop further, working alongside an experienced colleague who will guide and mentor you along the way.

The work is genuinely varied. Day to day you will be involved in general maintenance and repairs across the estates, but you will also play a key part in larger projects including fencing, carpentry, and event setup — from erecting marquees and building bars to making sure everything is ready for our guests. No two days are quite the same, and we take pride in maintaining our properties to a high standard.

We are looking for someone who:

Has some practical maintenance or trade experience and is eager to keep learning. Is reliable, takes pride in their work, and is happy to roll up their sleeves across a wide range of tasks. Can work sensibly on their own initiative while also being a team player. Has a good attitude towards health and safety in the workplace. Holds a full UK driving licence, as travel between our sites is part of the role.

You do not need to have done everything before — what matters most is that you bring a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a genuine care for doing a good job.

This is a permanent position working Monday to Friday, 07:30 to 16:30, three days per week.

If this sounds like the kind of role where you would thrive, we would love to hear from you.
