About the Role
Mitie is looking for an experienced Multi-Skilled Fabric Technician to maintain essential facilities within an overseas Defence environment.
You will complete planned and reactive repairs across building fabric, carpentry, doors, locks, finishes and basic plumbing support. You will work as part of a small multi-trade team where practical judgement, adaptability and quality matter.
The role will suit a capable maintenance professional who takes pride in durable repairs and understands when to act independently and when to seek specialist support.
What you'll do
- Complete planned and reactive building-fabric maintenance.
- Undertake carpentry, door, lock, ironmongery, patch-plastering, tiling, painting and minor-fabric repairs within competence.
- Support basic plumbing and general maintenance tasks where competent.
- Inspect defects and identify root causes, risks or further work.
- Complete repairs safely and escalate specialist or authorised work.
- Support minor works and approved infrastructure activity.
- Maintain accurate work orders, defect notes and material requests.
- Follow health and safety, permit, security and local operating controls.
- Coordinate with electrical, mechanical and other trade colleagues.
