- Work closely with customer-facing teams to ensure an excellent resident experience
- Support contractor supervision, ensuring works are completed safely and to a high standard
- Accurately record maintenance activities and update property documentation systems
- Contribute to a strong health & safety culture, reporting risks and ensuring compliance
Your Requirements:
- Experience in a maintenance, facilities, or handyman role (PBSA, residential, or hospitality preferred)

- Strong awareness of health & safety and building compliance standards
- Positive, solution-oriented mindset with a hands-on approach
- Strong communication skills with a customer-focused attitude
