Job description

A multi-skilled, foot-mobile role for someone with a hands-on maintenance background.

You will be:

• Reeve's first line of service. Attending a fault, assessing it on site, and either fixing it there and then or scoping it properly for a specialist contractor. That includes taking pressure and temperature readings, and judging whether a fault is fabric, mechanical, controls or electrical before it gets escalated.
• Carrying out minor plumbing and mechanical repairs - tap cartridges, valves, TRVs, actuators, small pipework alterations, fan and motor swaps, washroom fittings, blockages and leaks.
• Carrying out fabric repairs and making good - door furniture and closers, locks and ironmongery, ceiling tiles, flooring, skirtings, plasterboard patching, filling, sanding and decoration.
• Light carpentry - building and fitting cabinets, shelving, desks, partitions and bespoke fixes.
• Performing site inspections, logging asset condition, and reporting where major repairs or planned works are needed before they become reactive failures.
• Supervising attending contractors where required – site access, permits and RAMS in place, and signing off that the finished work meets Kitt's standards.
• Supporting the wider operations team – whiteboards, TV wall mounts, signage, furniture assembly, snagging and final finish.
