Maintenance Officer

About the role...

Do you enjoy working in a varied role? Do you take pride in resolving issues quickly and efficiently?

We are looking for a practical, reliable and hands-on Maintenance Officer to support the day-to-day upkeep of our Midlands sites (primarily based in our Castle Donington office).

You’ll work very closely with the Midlands Facilities Team Lead and the wider Facilities function in the region, as well as with external specialists/contractors as required.

This is a varied role, covering general maintenance, minor repairs, planned maintenance and responding to day-to-day facilities requests. You will be responsible for keeping our buildings, facilities and external areas safe, presentable and well maintained.

About the team…

Our brand is a big deal to us, and our offices play a huge part in what makes us who we are. They have been crafted and built to promote diverse working. Helping to put people at ease, drive motivation and engagement whilst having a funky edge.

• Basic repairs and maintenance, including changing bulbs, replacing fuses and other straightforward fixes.
• Responding to and resolving maintenance requests and reactive issues across the Midlands sites.
• Supporting with the upkeep of external areas, including car parks, bins, patios, plants and general outdoor areas.

• Ensuring maintenance activities are completed safely and in line with relevant health and safety requirements.
• Keeping appropriate records of maintenance activities and report any recurring or significant issues.
