Description

Kitt designs and operates workspace for the world's most vibrant brands. From managing the design and build, to creating an elevated ongoing experience, we create spaces that are worth leaving home for.

• Providing support to the wider operations team during tenants move‑ins (whiteboards, fixing TVs on walls etc)
• Performing light carpentry (e.g. building cabinets)

About You

• Proven experience within maintenance or construction
• Experience with hardware tools and electrical equipment
• Basic understanding of electrical, plumbing & HVAC systems. A qualification in HVAC is desired but not essential for this position

• Good communication ability and confidence in front of clients. You will be representing Kitt in a professional manner
• Well‑organised with good attention to detail
• Health and safety is a priority and you can spot problems before they happen
• Comfortable working alone and also as part of a team

Why Kitt?

The world of work has shifted forever. As people everywhere prioritise purpose over their paychecks, company culture has been thrown into the spotlight. But the problem is, too many companies are showing up to work in bland, cookie‑cutter offices. We’re leading this change. Real company culture can only be built in‑person, in the real world – and for it to be authentic it needs its very own, personalised space. That’s why we create offices as unique as the brands and the people who work there. We’re long‑term culture partners to our clients long after they’ve signed the lease and chosen the paint colours.
