About The Role
We are a leading provider of professional construction, refurbishment, building maintenance, and facilities management services. We have an exciting opportunity for a conscientious, enthusiastic, and customer-focused Building Fabric Technician to join our dynamic delivery team.
This role is ideal for a skilled operative with a strong core background in Carpentry or Plumbing who thrives in a varied maintenance environment.

- Planned Maintenance (PPM): Carry out scheduled Planned Preventative Maintenance tasks and reactive repairs efficiently.
- Emergency Response: Swiftly respond to and resolve emergency maintenance situations safely and effectively.
- Client and Team Interaction: Keep building users, clients, and resource controllers updated on job progress, delivering a polite, professional, and courteous service at all times.
- Safety and Compliance: Strictly adhere to Health and Safety guidelines using RAMS, PPE, and proper procedures. Assist management with COSHH inventories and risk assessments when required.
- Documentation and Asset Care: Maintain precise digital records of all works (including photographic evidence), while keeping your company vehicle, tools, plant, and equipment clean, safe, and operational.
- Flexible Coverage: Collaborate with fellow technicians and participate in the out-of-hours call-out rota as business needs dictate.
