Job description

At Bruntwood, we're committed to offering more than just outstanding office, coworking, retail and lab spaces. Everything we do is tied into our vision of building vibrant communities, whilst providing businesses with the support and expertise they need to grow. We’re commercial property specialists operating across the UK.

Bruntwood own, develop, manage and maintain properties across England. Our focus is on ‘Creating Thriving Cities’ which is evident across our website, so have a look to gain more of a perspective on what we do, and how we operate.

Painter & Decorator

As a Painter & Decorator, you’ll play a key role in maintaining and enhancing the look and feel of our commercial spaces. From refreshing walls and woodwork to supporting larger refurbishment projects, you’ll help ensure our buildings always look their best – creating inspiring environments that reflect the high standards our customers expect.

We have two roles available, working as a team across our St James Building and Circle Square buildings, Monday to Friday, 40 hours per week. Please note this is a temporary position and is a 12 month fixed term contract.

What you will be doing:

• Carry out internal and external painting and decorating to a high standard across all sites.
• Prepare surfaces – including filling, sanding, priming, and undercoating for a professional finish.
• Hang wallpaper or wall coverings where required.
• Assist with minor remedial works and decorative repairs as part of the planned maintenance schedule.
• Supporting the wider Manchester City Centre team if necessary for reactive work.
• Ensure all works comply with health and safety standards, including safe use and storage of paints and solvents, and maintenance of tools/equipment.

What we are looking for:

• Proven experience as a painter and decorator.
• NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Painting and Decorating (or equivalent City & Guilds) would be beneficial but not essential.

In addition to the salary shown you will be entitled to a number of other excellent benefits including:

• 28 days holiday plus your birthday off work – and if that’s not enough you can also buy & sell holidays too
• 24 hours a year volunteer time – there are endless opportunities for you to get involved in supporting the causes that matter most to you
• Sabbatical of up to 12 months so you can take a career break after five years with us
• Healthcare cash plan for all colleagues, so you can claim back medical expenses like optical, dentist & physiotherapy. We also offer private healthcare cover on an opt‑in basis too
• Life assurance cover for all colleagues
• Up to 8% matched pension scheme
• Discounts & cashback at leading retailers
• Enhanced maternity / shared parental leave – 26 weeks fully paid leave
• Interest free learning loans to help you develop new skills

In addition to what to expect within the role and your benefits, it’s good to know that you’ll be working for a business that gives back – The Oglesby Charitable Trust has donated more than £25m since it started out in 2001, supporting charities across Arts and Culture, Education, Environment, Medical Research and Social & Health Inequality.

Our operations team make up a huge part of our workforce. Therefore it's incredibly important to us that we recruit from diverse backgrounds to reflect the communities we operate in, and ultimately achieve our goal of creating thriving cities that are completely inclusive.

We'll always do our best to accommodate any adjustments you need at interview. So please highlight this in your application form. If selected, we will get in touch and discuss this before your interview.
