The Vacancy
We're looking for a practical, hands-on Facilities Management Technician to join our FM team. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys fixing problems, maintaining buildings to a high standard and taking pride in creating safe, clean and well-presented workspaces for our customers.
This is not a desk-based facilities role. You will report into the FMT Team Leader and spend the majority of your time out in our buildings carrying out inspections, first-fix repairs, maintenance tasks and compliance checks, while working closely with our Centre Management and FM teams to ensure our customers have the best possible experience.
You'll have a genuine "get it done" attitude, enjoy solving day-to-day building issues, and be comfortable turning your hand to everything from basic repairs and decorating to contractor supervision and health & safety compliance.
What You'll Be Doing
Building Maintenance & Repairs
- Carry out first-fix maintenance and minor repairs across our centres.
- Undertake basic decorating, painting and making-good works.
- Respond to reactive maintenance requests and complete assigned tasks through our CAFM system.
- Keep common areas, external areas and landlord spaces clean, safe and in good decorative order.
- Identify issues before they become larger problems and proactively recommend solutions.
- Assist with waste and recycling management, ensuring waste areas remain organised and compliant.
- Record all completed works and maintain accurate maintenance records.
Contractor Management
