Build a varied and secure career on the move

Looking for a role where no two days are the same? Join Amey and support the Ministry of Justice across a small regional patch of sites. You’ll play a vital role in keeping facilities safe, compliant and running smoothly, making a real difference every day.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a practical maintenance background who wants job security, variety and the chance to develop new skills, all within a supportive and well‑established contract.

• Carrying out planned and reactive maintenance across multiple sites
• Supporting a range of building systems and compliance tasks
• Acting as an Authorised Person (training provided)
• Following safety and security procedures
• Taking part in an on‑call and weekend rota

You’ll work across a small number of sites, giving you variety without excessive travel.

• A relevant trade qualification or maintenance experience
• Full UK driving licence
• Ability to work independently and use initiative
• Basic health & safety and IT awareness

Experience in areas such as fire safety, emergency lighting, water checks or general compliance would be beneficial—but not essential.

• Competitive salary + extra pay for additional skills
• Company van and fuel card
• 15% allowance for weekend rota
• Generous pension scheme
• 24 days holiday + bank holidays (with option to buy more)
• Full training and clear progression opportunities
