What We Are Looking For

The right attitude is just as important as technical ability. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, communicates clearly, turns up when expected, and consistently delivers work to a good standard.

You will play an important role in keeping buildings safe, well maintained and presentable. Success in this role will be measured by the quality and timeliness of completed works, accurate reporting, effective communication with stakeholders, and the ability to identify and resolve maintenance issues before they escalate.

Ongoing support and relevant training will be provided to help you develop within the role.
