About the Opportunity

We are seeking a dependable and motivated Land Maintenance Operative to join our team on a full-time, permanent basis. This varied position is ideal for someone who enjoys practical, hands‑on work, is comfortable working independently, and takes pride in maintaining sites and properties to a high standard.

The successful candidate will be proactive, organised and safety-focused, with the ability to manage their own workload effectively. Previous experience within property maintenance is essential, while knowledge of electrical or plumbing work would be beneficial but is not a requirement.

• Liaising with various departments across the business and facilitating access to sites when required
• Undertaking general maintenance and repair work across properties and land holdings
• Ensuring all tasks are completed safely, efficiently and in accordance with company procedures

Working Hours

The standard working pattern is Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:30pm.

While the role is primarily office-hours based, there may occasionally be a requirement to work additional hours to respond to operational needs. Overtime is expected to be infrequent and only undertaken when necessary.

Candidate Requirements

We are looking for an individual who:

• Has previous experience in property maintenance, facilities management, construction, or a related practical trade
• Is capable of working independently and taking initiative when required
• Can organise and prioritise tasks effectively with minimal supervision
• Demonstrates a professional, practical and positive approach to work
• Understands the importance of maintaining high standards of health, safety and site security
• Communicates effectively and works collaboratively with colleagues and stakeholders
• Has experience in electrical and/or plumbing works (advantageous but not essential)

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary of £35,000 - £40,000 per annum
• Permanent, full-time employment
• Monday to Friday working schedule
• Company vehicle provided
• Occasional overtime opportunities where required
• A varied and autonomous role with responsibility and ownership
• The chance to become a valued member of a growing and supportive team
