All work will be scheduled and allocated digitally through a tablet or mobile device, enabling you to manage your workload efficiently while maintaining accurate records of completed tasks. Alongside maintenance responsibilities, there will be occasions where you will support general storekeeping and yard duties, helping to ensure the smooth running of the site.

This role offers a balance of independent working and teamwork. While many tasks will be completed through lone working, you'll also collaborate closely with colleagues and support the wider engineering team to deliver an exceptional service across the estate.

What you’ll need

You will have practical experience within a maintenance, facilities, construction or housing environment and be comfortable undertaking a wide variety of repair tasks. Experience gained within domestic properties, commercial premises or both will be considered.

While formal trade qualifications are advantageous, they are not essential. We are equally interested in candidates who can demonstrate strong hands-on experience supported by excellent references and a proven track record of delivering quality workmanship.

You will possess a good understanding of Health and Safety requirements, including COSHH and RIDDOR regulations, and demonstrate a proactive approach to safe working practices. Strong problem-solving skills, excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage your own workload effectively are essential for success in this role.

To be considered, you must hold a full UK Driving Licence and be able to obtain Security Clearance (SC). You should be reliable, punctual, self-motivated and confident communicating with colleagues, customers and stakeholders at all levels.

Why Join VIVO?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing organisation supporting some of the UK's most important Defence facilities. You'll enjoy varied and rewarding work, ongoing training and development opportunities, and the chance to be part of a supportive team that takes pride in delivering excellence every day.

Importantly, while this position is offered initially as a 12-month fixed-term contract, there is genuine potential for the role to become permanent for the right candidate.

If you are a skilled tradesperson who enjoys solving problems, takes pride in quality workmanship and wants to play a key role in maintaining critical Defence infrastructure, we would love to hear from you.
