Maintenance Operative

\n

North London | £34,000 + Benefits | Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm

\n

Looking for a role where no two days are quite the same?

\n

We're recruiting for a Maintenance Operative to join a brand-new residential development in North London.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a practical, hands-on maintenance or handyman professional to join the site at an exciting stage and play a key role in keeping the development running smoothly as it grows.

\n

What will you be doing?

A real mix of hands-on maintenance and day-to-day site support, including:

    \n
  • General handyman & minor repairs

  • Painting, decorating & touch-ups
  • \n
  • Minor plastering, drilling & repairs

  • Routine building & maintenance checks
  • \n
  • Supporting contractors on site
  • \n
  • Recording maintenance & compliance checks
  • \n
  • Responding to resident queries
  • \n

This is not a specialist trade role. You don't need to be a qualified electrician or plumber. We're looking for someone who is genuinely practical, can turn their hand to a range of jobs and takes pride in getting things done properly.

\n

What we're looking for...

\n

You'll ideally have experience in maintenance, facilities, handyman work, property, construction or a similar practical environment.

  • \n
  • \n

    Reliable, organised and detail-focused

  • \n
  • \n

    Naturally customer-service minded

  • \n

  • \n
  • Enhanced Maternity & Paternity Pay

  • \n
  • Plus additional benefits and more!
