The Company:

Found is the exclusive in-house operator of market leading UK developer FEC… so you just know it’s gotta’ be good right?

And we are on a mission… to be the no.1, experience led, brand-centric 360 lifestyle operator in the UK. Not just for a ‘time in life’, but for a lifetime. If you aren’t up for that, no problem, but now is the time to stop reading.

Still with us? Great. Let’s get into it.

The Role:

We are looking for someone who embodies our brand values, wants to get stuck in, and help make the magic happen. We are searching for an experienced Building Services Operative to join our growing team. If you love being hands on and keeping things looking top-notch, this role is for you.

What’s the gig?

The remit of the Building Services Operative will include the following, but as a business we are about mucking in, pushing forward and making great things happen, although this list of responsibilities should give you a great idea of the opportunity.

  • Get hands-on with tasks using both hand and power tools, whether it’s cleaning, painting, or replacing light bulbs, you’ll help keep the building looking its best.
  • Take care of minor repairs across the property, from fixing doors to furniture, you will take a proactive approach to keeping things in top shape.
  • You’ll have a sharp eye for detail, reporting any health and safety concerns like icy pathways, loose balcony furniture, or fire risks. If you see it, you sort it.
  • It’s not always glamorous, be ready to manage waste bins, jet-wash common areas, clear blockages in bin chutes, and keep the bin store clean and tidy.
  • Conduct regular building inspections including weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually checks, as directed by the Resident Experience Manager.
  • Support health and safety standards by carrying out inspections and producing clear, detailed reports.
  • Work closely with residents, visitors, contractors, and local authorities to help the building run smoothly day to day.
  • Take part in team briefings and toolbox talks to stay informed, up-to-date, and safe.
  • You’ll need to be organised and tech-savvy to manage our digital reporting systems but don’t worry, full training and support will be provided.
  • Responsibility is key: whether it’s wearing PPE, following risk assessments, or sticking to Founds policies and procedures, your focus will be on keeping yourself, your team, and our residents safe.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
