Our teams are at the heart of what we do, taking pride in creating workspaces where our clients and their businesses can thrive.

The role

As a Multi Skilled Operative, you’ll help keep our buildings safe, functional and beautifully presented.

Working across a cluster of Argyll locations, you’ll take ownership of day-to-day repairs, maintenance and practical tasks, working closely with our Operations, front of house, engineering and contractor teams.

It’s a varied, hands‑on role where no two days are quite the same.

What you’ll be doing

• Carrying out reactive repairs and routine maintenance across our buildings.

• Completing painting, decorating, fabric maintenance and general DIY tasks.

• Supporting furniture moves and changes to our workspaces.

• Carrying out routine building checks and identifying issues before they impact our clients.

• Keeping plant rooms, storage and equipment areas safe, secure and organised.

• Supporting and escorting contractors, ensuring appropriate safety procedures are followed.

• Maintaining accurate records of maintenance activity, risk assessments and works completed.

• Working safely at all times and following relevant health and safety procedures.

• Providing a professional, responsive service to clients and colleagues.

• Supporting maintenance and operational priorities across the wider Argyll portfolio.

What you’ll bring

You’ll be practical, proactive and solutions focused, with a genuine pride in completing work to a high standard.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Experience in building fabric, repairs or multi-skilled maintenance.

• Good practical skills across painting, decorating and general repairs.

• An understanding of health and safety, risk assessments and safe working practices.

• Relevant maintenance, building fabric or health and safety training.

• Confidence using digital systems to record and manage your work.

• Strong communication skills and a professional, customer-focused approach.

• The ability to work safely at height where appropriately trained.

Experience within premium workspace, hospitality or commercial property would be an advantage, as would an electrical or mechanical engineering qualification.
