At Skanska, we’re shaping the way we live, work and connect. As one of the world’s largest construction and development companies, we work together with customers, communities and partners to shape a better society.

You will be working in the Building Services Operating Unit where we bring Skanska’s purpose to build for a better society to life—creating healthy workplaces, comfortable homes and efficient facilities that improve people’s lives. Through collaboration and innovation, we deliver high-quality solutions that make a lasting, positive impact for people and communities.

We are currently looking for a proactive and skilled Mobile Handyperson to join our team on the Kent County Council project, in a varied and rewarding role.

• Bring a proactive, self-motivated and can-do approach to working within a mobile maintenance team, delivering a high standard of service across the estate.
• Carry out a range of planned maintenance and compliance tasks, including water hygiene PPMs, flushing and temperature checks, weekly fire alarm testing, and support with additional PPM and extra works in line with engineering and HASWA standards.
• Undertake general building fabric and maintenance repairs, including minor carpentry to doors, frames, windows and other timber fixtures, as well as basic plumbing, gutter clearance, flooring repairs, and the installation of shelves, noticeboards and similar fittings.
• Complete minor security and access works, including the replacement and installation of locks where required.
• Support asset verification and condition data capture, ensuring asset information is accurately recorded and maintained electronically using handheld devices.
• Maintain accurate maintenance and inspection records and support seasonal estate duties, including gritting in line with the winter plan, with flexibility to respond out of hours during adverse weather when required.
