Job description

A hands on fixer who can handle general repairs, decorating, minor plumbing and carpentry across a portfolio of rented homes. The job covers both occupied properties and empty homes that need fast turnaround between tenancies, plus fitting and testing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and reporting damp, mould or safety issues. A strong candidate brings several years of multi trade experience, a full driving licence, reliable timekeeping and clear communication with tenants, landlords and contractors.

How it fits the AI era

The company runs lettings on its own AI powered platform, so jobs likely arrive through a phone app and progress gets logged with photos as work is done. That shifts the admin side toward quick, tidy digital updates while the actual repair, the judgement on what is safe to fix and the friendly handling of tenants stay firmly human. The role is hands on, and the technology mainly supports scheduling and record keeping rather than replacing the craft.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means using a smartphone app daily to receive jobs and upload photos, which builds comfort with digital workflow tools used across a tech focused lettings business. That practical familiarity with app based job management is a useful base for understanding how AI supported operations work in property services. Showing willingness to learn the platform quickly is the main way to build relevant experience for this role.
