Maintenance Technician​/Maintenance Engineer

Priority Care Group is looking for an experienced, practical and reliable
Maintenance Technician / Maintenance Engineer to join our Estates Team.

This is a permanent, full-time position working across our care homes and associated properties in Dundee, Angus and Perthshire.

You will work alongside our
Senior Maintenance Technician as part of an established estates team, helping us maintain safe, well-presented and well-functioning environments for our residents and staff.

Please Note:
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role. Applicants must have an existing right to work in the UK.

This is a varied, hands-on position covering both reactive and planned maintenance across our properties.

No two days will necessarily be the same. You could be repairing a door or plumbing fault in the morning, carrying out planned compliance checks in the afternoon, or working alongside contractors on a larger estates project.

• General reactive building maintenance and repairs
• Planned preventative maintenance (PPM)
• Basic plumbing repairs
• Joinery and general building repairs
• Doors, locks, ironmongery and furniture repairs
• Minor decorating and making good
• Basic fault finding
• Identifying and reporting electrical, heating and mechanical faults
• Fire door inspections and associated remedial works
• Routine health & safety and compliance checks
• Emergency lighting and other scheduled estates checks
• Monitoring plant rooms and building services
  
  Responding to maintenance requests from Home Managers
• Completing maintenance records and signing off completed work
• Identifying when specialist contractors are required
• Liaising with approved contractors where appropriate
• Supporting larger planned maintenance and improvement projects
• Maintaining good standards of presentation throughout our properties

The Dundee/Tayside Estates Team currently provides maintenance support to:

• Harestane Care Home – Dundee
• St Columba’s Care Home – Dundee
• Magdalen House – Dundee
• Priority Care Head Office – Dundee
• Meigle Country House – Meigle
• St Vigeans Care Home – Arbroath

Drumdarroch Care Home in Insch has its own dedicated full-time maintenance person and is not part of the normal day-to-day workload for this position.

We are looking for someone who is genuinely
multi-skilled and hands-on
.

You don’t necessarily need to come from one particular trade, but you should have good practical experience in property or building maintenance and be comfortable dealing with a wide variety of everyday maintenance issues.

• Joinery
• Plumbing
• General building maintenance
• Facilities or estates maintenance
• Care home, healthcare, hotel or similar multi-site environments
• Planned preventative maintenance
• Building compliance and safety checks

You should be able to assess a problem, work out the most sensible solution and complete repairs to a good standard.

Just as importantly, we’re looking for someone who is organised, dependable and comfortable working around residents and staff.

You will work closely with our
Senior Maintenance Technician
, with both engineers having their own company van and working across the estate.

The wider team also includes dedicated painting/decorating and grounds maintenance personnel.

We deliberately operate the maintenance engineers independently for much of the working week rather than having two people travelling together unnecessarily. This allows us to provide better coverage and visibility across our homes.

For larger jobs, projects or tasks requiring two people, the engineers work together.

The role will also participate in the Estates Team’s
shared out-of-hours on-call rota
, providing emergency maintenance support outside normal working hours.

On-call is shared across the wider maintenance team rather than being the responsibility of one individual.

Separate standby and call-out arrangements apply.

• Permanent full-time employment
• 37.5-hour working week
• Monday to Friday working pattern
• Salary: TBA depending on experience
• Company van
• Varied multi-site working…
