Job description

RM Recruit is working in partnership with our fantastic Lambeth based housing client, who are looking to appoint an experienced Repair Technician on a temporary basis for an initial three-month period, with a strong likelihood of extension.

This is a hands-on role working across a number of residential housing estates in South London, with the majority of your work based around Lambeth. The successful candidate will provide a professional, responsive and customer-focused repairs service, carrying out a range of minor repairs and void works across the client's housing stock.

You will be responsible for carrying out repairs and maintenance works within occupied and void properties, ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

Main duties include:

• Carrying out a range of minor repairs and maintenance works.
• Working across occupied and void residential properties.
• Diagnosing faults and identifying appropriate repair solutions.
• Completing repairs right first time wherever possible.

You will be required to provide your own hand tools and battery-powered tools which will be securely stored on site overnight and you will work across three housing estates, with the majority of your time based around the Kennington area.
