The role requires strong mechanical and electrical knowledge, along with additional skills across building services such as plumbing, HVAC, and general fabric maintenance. A proactive, “can‑do” attitude is essential, as duties may extend beyond core trade skills.

• Diagnose faults quickly to minimise downtime and restore services.
• Carry out corrective repairs to pipework, systems, and building services.
• Perform fabrication tasks including brackets, enclosures, flanges, adjustments, and soldering.
• Undertake repairs and replacement of heating, bathroom, and WC systems.
• Follow manufacturer guidance for maintenance and replacement parts.
• Ensure safe working practices at all times, adhering to method statements, risk assessments, COSHH, and manual handling procedures.
• Use appropriate access systems (ladders, towers, MEWPs, lifts, etc.).
• Maintain strong customer relationships through professional and efficient service delivery.

Requirements

• Recognised industry qualification (apprenticeship training desirable).
• Proven experience in facilities management, building services, or a similar maintenance role.
• Strong background in mechanical and electrical systems, with additional skills in plumbing and fabric maintenance.
• Good fault‑finding and problem‑solving skills.
• Strong customer service and communication skills.
• Flexible and proactive approach to working across multiple sites.
