• Replace washers, cartridges, and small fittings.

Electrical

• Replace faulty light fixtures, switches, sockets, and LED tubes/spots.
• Diagnose and reset tripped breakers or RCDs.
• Handle small electrical repairs: wiring adjustments, new/fixed sockets, troubleshooting power loss.

General maintenance & hardware

• Carry out carpentry and hardware tasks.
• Handle drywall patching, surface finishing, and decorative installations.
• Assemble and calibrate furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
• Maintain and troubleshoot specialised equipment.

We’d love to hear from candidates who have:

• A technical qualification (MBO level 3/4 in electrotechnics, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or similar).
• At least 3 years of maintenance experience, preferably in a multi-site environment such as hospitality, retail, or hotels.
