Estates Officer

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Estate Officer to join our Estates and Facilities team.

The team plays a vital role in ensuring our buildings are safe, compliant and fit for purpose.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys varied work, takes pride in maintaining high standards, and is keen to contribute to the smooth running of our estate.

This role will be primarily based at Little Canfield, but you may be required to attend other Council buildings as and when required.
