Job description

We now have an exciting opportunity for a Multi-skilled Maintenance Operative with commercial building maintenance experience to join our highly regarded Maintenance team in Dartford, Kent. This role involves carrying out plumbing repairs, PPM's and other general building maintenance.

Rydon Maintenance Ltd provides a range of hard facilities management and property maintenance services in partnership with a range of NHS Trusts. We provide reactive and planned maintenance to a number of NHS buildings and we work to strict timescales and safety requirements to ensure the comfort and safety of service users using these NHS facilities. With offices in the South East, to Bristol in the South West our experience has taken us across a variety of sensitive healthcare environments.

Job Purpose

Based at the Bracton Centre in Dartford, Kent you will carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM's) and reactive repairs across the site.

There will be a particular emphasis on plumbing work, which will include fault finding, repairs and installation work on a range of plumbing systems. You will also carry out other general maintenance works such as basic electrics and carpentry repairs.

In addition there will also be some planned maintenance activities such as upgrade works and refurbishment as part of our ongoing efforts to ensure a safe environment for service users. You will work in a live secure healthcare environment and as such its important that proper protocols are followed at all times to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for staff and service users.

Normal working hours are 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday. You will also participate in an on-call rota system (which offers the opportunity to increase your earnings and be involved in additional urgent repairs).

What we can offer you

Previous relevant experience in the maintenance of buildings is essential, ideally within the NHS (or for a maintenance contractor providing services to the NHS). Alternatively, you will have worked for a maintenance contractor providing a planned/reactive maintenance service in a commercial setting (perhaps a hotel, school, supermarkets etc).

You will have experience of carrying out planned preventative and reactive maintenance on plumbing systems. You will also have experience of fault finding, repair and installation of plumbing services, along with the ability to undertake a range of other general building maintenance/repairs. This could include: basic electrics, painting, carpentry, plastering etc.

You will also need to hold a full UK Driving Licence.

Above all you will have excellent customer service skills and be passionate about providing high quality repairs.

This is a genuinely diverse role with excellent scope for personal development.
