Fabric Technician

The Opportunity

Branta Recruitment is seeking a versatile and proactive Mobile Fabric Technician to join a leading Facilities Management provider. This is a vital role for a "hands-on" professional who thrives on variety and takes pride in maintaining commercial environments to the highest standards.

We are looking for someone with a solid foundation in Joinery, but who possesses the "handyman" mindset required to tackle basic plumbing, electrical, and general building fabric tasks.

The Role

You will be the "go-to" person for fabric maintenance across a diverse portfolio of commercial buildings (offices, retail, and industrial). While predominantly based in the North East, you will manage a mobile schedule that includes sites in Yorkshire and the Scottish Central Belt.

Key Responsibilities:

• Joinery & Carpentry: Repairs to doors, frames, ironmongery, cabinetry, and floor finishes.
• General Maintenance: Patch plastering, painting/decorating, and ceiling tile replacement.
• Basic Plumbing: Unblocking sinks, changing taps, repairing toilet flushes, and leak investigation.
• Basic Electrical: Bulb/lamp replacement, re-securing loose fittings, and assisting with emergency lighting tests.
• Facilities Support: Conducting regular site walk-rounds, identifying defects, and ensuring all common areas are safe and operational.
• Compliance: Working within a professional FM framework, documenting tasks via a PDA/tablet, and adhering to strict H&S guidelines.

Requirements

The ideal candidate is a resourceful technician who can work independently and solve problems on the fly.

• Trade Background: NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Joinery/Carpentry is highly preferred.
• Multiskilled: Proven ability to "turn your hand" to basic plumbing, minor electrical, and general fabric repairs.
• Experience: Previous experience in a Commercial Maintenance or FM environment is essential.
• Communication: Comfortable liaising with site managers and office-based clients.
• Compliance: Full UK Driving License and a valid CSCS card.
• Flexibility: Willingness to travel across the North East, Yorkshire, and Scotland.

What’s In It For You?

• Door-to-Door Travel: Your workday starts and ends at your front door—full pay for all travel time.
• Private Use of Van: A modern company vehicle is provided, with permission for personal use.
• Overtime Available: Regular opportunities to increase your earnings through additional hours.
• Autonomy: Manage your own daily route and tasks with support from a dedicated central desk.
• Stability: Long-term work on established, high-value commercial contracts.
