Job Type: Permanent, Full-time

An established commercial facilities management company is looking for an experienced Multi-Skilled FM Operative to join its mobile maintenance team on a permanent basis.

This is a practical, varied role suited to someone who is also comfortable completing a broad range of general commercial property repairs and maintenance tasks, whilst having a minimum Level 2 qualification in Carpentry. You must be capable of working independently at customer sites with work ranging from smaller reactive repairs, such as fitting door handles and replacing taps etc, through to planned full refurbishment projects completed as part of a wider team.

The majority of work will be carried out across Coventry and the Midlands, although there may be occasional travel further afield.

The Role:

You will attend commercial premises to carry out planned and reactive property maintenance, minor repairs and refurbishment work.

Typical duties will include:

• Multi-skilled repairs, adjustments and installations
• Carpentry work such as hanging, repairing and adjusting doors, fitting locks, handles, hinges, closers and ironmongery, repairing or replacing kitchen units, worktops, skirting and architraves
• Basic plumbing tasks, including replacing taps, traps, radiator valves, toilet components, replacing sealant, grout and other finishing work
• Minor patch plastering and basic painting and decorating
• Repairing fixtures, fittings and damaged building fabric
• Completing planned maintenance and small refurbishment projects in schools, leisure and retail settings
• Diagnosing straightforward maintenance issues and determining the appropriate repair
• Working independently on smaller jobs and alongside other trades on larger projects
• Completing job details using a mobile tablet app-based software, adding photographs and other required maintenance records
• Communicating professionally with customers, site managers and internal colleagues
• Keeping the company van, tools and work areas clean and organised
• Following health and safety procedures at all times

Requirements:

To be considered, you must have:

• A minimum Level 2 qualification in Carpentry
• Previous experience within commercial property maintenance, facilities management, construction or a similar environment
• The ability to complete a wide range of general building maintenance tasks
• Confidence working alone and managing your own workload
• Good fault-finding and practical problem-solving skills
• A professional and presentable approach when working at customer premises
• Good communication skills
• A reliable and flexible attitude
• A full UK driving licence
• The ability to travel throughout the Midlands
• Willingness to work away from the local area on very occasional occasions
• The ability to pass a DBS check where required

Additional qualifications or experience in plumbing, decorating, plastering, tiling or other building trades would be beneficial but are not essential.

The Ideal Candidate:

The ideal person will be an experienced, dependable maintenance operative who takes pride in completing work properly.

You should be equally comfortable attending a site alone to resolve a maintenance issue as you are working alongside colleagues on a larger commercial refurbishment project.

This is not a domestic or social housing position. The work is predominantly carried out within commercial properties and requires someone who can represent the company professionally while delivering a high standard of workmanship.

Package:

• £18.00+ per hour, depending on experience and qualifications
• 40 hours per week standard hours
• Permanent PAYE employment
• Company van provided
• Immediate start available for the right person
