Estates Maintenance Operative

About the Estates Maintenance Operative role

As one of our Estates Maintenance Operatives, you will cut grass, maintain hedges and plant shrubs and flowers to create attractive landscapes, resolve enquiries from tenants and oversee Health & Safety compliance in everything you do, giving you plenty of variety and responsibility.

Experienced in all aspects of grounds maintenance, you will hold a clean current driving licence and be capable of using industrial machinery safely. You should share our passion for customer service and be self-motivated, well-organised, hardworking, and bring excellent interpersonal skills.

A formal Health & Safety qualification would be very useful, as would a trailer towing licence and some pesticide training, but this is by no means essential as we will provide a comprehensive induction.

You can also expect to enjoy an excellent benefits package, including:

• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Discretionary Leave between Christmas and the New Year period
• Generous employer contributions towards your pension (including death in service); employees who increase their contribution to 5% or above will receive an employer contribution of one and a half times their contribution up to a maximum employer contribution of 15%
• Private Health Care membership (if applicable)
• Flexible Agile Working
• Salary Sacrifice Scheme (optional)
• Reimbursement of the cost of a professional membership fee
• Employer contributions towards gym membership
• Employer contribution every two years towards eye examination for those who use computers significantly as part of their work
• Up to 25% off selected O2 airtime contracts
• Microsoft Home Use Programme available to all staff
• Employee Assistance Programme provided by Health Assured
• West country Savings and Loans Scheme
• Recognition for Long Service (if applicable)
• Cycle to work Scheme
• Electric Vehicle Scheme
