Description

Multi-Skilled Maintenance Operative - Bedfordshire - Driving Licence Essential

A hands-on maintenance role with variety, responsibility and the opportunity to make a difference.

We're looking for a proactive multi-skilled Operative, to work within Maintenance property to oversee a portfolio of independent living accommodation across Bedfordshire.

This is a varied, hands-on role combining general maintenance and repairs with organising works, overseeing contractors and making sure properties are safe, tidy and well maintained.

You'll be someone who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves and tackle a repair, but who can also take ownership, spot problems before they become bigger issues and make sure maintenance jobs get done.

What will you be doing?

No two days will be quite the same! Your responsibilities will include:

* Getting hands-on: Carrying out general repairs, minor maintenance and practical jobs across communal areas and individual properties.

* Spotting the problems: Carrying out monthly inspections of schemes, identifying maintenance issues and making sure they are addressed.

* Taking ownership: Planning and organising maintenance tasks, prioritising jobs and keeping track of outstanding repairs.

* Overseeing contractors: Meeting contractors on-site, checking work is completed to the required standard and ensuring issues are followed up.

* Keeping things safe: Making sure health and safety standards are maintained and any potential risks are identified and reported.

* Looking after residents: Building positive relationships with residents, responding to maintenance concerns and making sure they receive a helpful and friendly service.

What type of person would this suit?

We're interested in practical people who know their way around a toolbox and enjoy solving problems.

You could be a multi-skilled tradesperson, a general maintenance operative, a property maintenance technician or someone already working in a similar maintenance role looking for their next opportunity.

Ideally, you'll have:

* Previous experience in general maintenance, property repairs, building maintenance or a trade-based role.

* Practical skills and the confidence to carry out minor repairs and maintenance yourself.

* A good eye for detail and the ability to identify maintenance issues.

* The ability to organise your own workload and prioritise jobs.

* Confidence dealing with contractors and checking work is completed properly.

* A friendly, approachable manner and a good customer service attitude. xjnqpsq

* Basic IT skills to record jobs, monitor repairs and update systems.

* A reliable, proactive approach and the ability to work independently
