Job description

Are you a skilled tradesperson who loves being on the tools, takes pride in great workmanship, and enjoys leading the technical side of small projects?

If you’re looking for a role where every day is different and where your experience genuinely makes a difference – this could be an excellent next step.

Ceteris is Scotland’s largest commercial landlord with a social purpose; a supportive, community-driven organisation with a portfolio of business premises across Forth Valley.

We are looking for a Senior Maintenance Technician to strengthen our technical capacity and help deliver high-quality improvements across our sites.

This is not a desk role. It’s a hands‑on, senior technician post where you will lead technical delivery, scope and quote works, support colleagues, and take ownership of a varied workload of electrical, data/comms and building fabric tasks. We’re looking for a time‑served tradesperson – ideally a qualified electrician or someone with a plumbing and heating background who can confidently deliver high-quality technical work and support the wider team.

What you’ll be doing

• Delivering reactive and planned building works, undertaking either electrical or plumbing/heating duties (depending on qualification), as well as small fabric repairs and light construction
• Leading small works projects: scoping, surveying, specifying and preparing quotations
• Coordinating contractors and supporting Maintenance Operatives on site
• Delivering both reactive and planned maintenance to a high standard
• Ensuring all works are completed safely, professionally and with minimal disruption to tenants
• Updating FM software, capturing job details and maintaining accurate records
• Supporting the Maintenance Manager in delivering small capital works and compliance activity
• Contributing to sustainability initiatives and wider estate improvement

What makes this role perfect for the right person

• Highly varied where no two days are the same across our diverse property portfolio
• Hands‑on every day – ideal if you like being active, practical and technically challenged
• Room to grow- a great step for someone keen to expand into small works coordination and supervisory responsibility
• Positive team culture – supportive colleagues and strong organisational values
• Community impact- the work you deliver directly improves the experience of local businesses
• Flexible working available

About you

We’d love to hear from you if you bring:

• A time‑served apprenticeship or equivalent qualification in electrical, data/comms, construction or a related trade
• Strong practical experience in maintenance, repairs, fit out or small works
• Confidence in scoping, quoting and organising small projects
• Experience coordinating contractors or supporting junior colleagues
• Solid understanding of Health & Safety and safe systems of work
• Good communication, problem solving and attention to detail
• Pride in doing a job well and producing high‑quality results
• IPAF/PASMA, CSCS/ECS or additional trade certifications are helpful but not essential

In return we offer

• Generous employer pension contribution
• Annual performance‑related bonus
• Option of salary sacrifice
• 30 days annual leave plus four public holidays
• Your Birthday off
• Flexibility where the role allows

Join us and help make a difference to the spaces where local businesses start, grow, and succeed.

This is a regional role and as such driving license is essential.

As part of the team, you’ll join a structured out‑of‑hours rota for emergency issues only. This is shared fairly across colleagues and comes with a call‑out allowance.
