Keep the place that keeps the world safe running beautifully
This is a fantastic opportunity to join Fortress Safety as a Facilities Maintenance Technician and become the person who keeps our Wolverhampton HQ safe, clean, compliant, and running like clockwork. If you love variety, take genuine pride in a job well done, and enjoy being the go-to person everyone relies on, you'll thrive here.
It's a hands-on, people-facing role that blends practical maintenance with smart coordination. No two days are the same — one moment you're carrying out safety checks and PAT testing, the next you're setting up for an important meeting, solving a maintenance issue, or working with contractors to keep everything ship-shape. Your work will directly shape the environment where our teams design products that protect people all over the world.
