About the Role

We’re looking for a dedicated and adaptable Mechanical Maintenance Technician to join our friendly maintenance team. You’ll carry out a range of planned and reactive maintenance tasks across a diverse property estate, from historic listed buildings to modern facilities like the Helix. Day‑to‑day work will focus mainly on domestic plumbing (around 90% of tasks), including TRVs, sinks, taps, showers, and toilets. The workload stays steady throughout the year, with busier periods during key times such as exam season. You’ll join a supportive team of 10 engineers and plumbers, with an ambitious plan to merge and strengthen the two disciplines into one collaborative unit.

What We’re Looking For

  • NVQ Level 3 in Engineering Maintenance (or equivalent)
  • Full UK Driving Licence
  • Strong problem‑solving skills and a proactive, can‑do attitude
  • Polite, reliable, and customer‑focused approach
  • Willingness to learn and adapt in a varied environment

We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds including higher education, the armed forces, and the public sector — all of which share similar working cultures. Candidates with less experience but the right attitude and potential to develop are also encouraged to apply.

Additional Information

  • On‑call rotation once every 10 weeks (Monday–Sunday, outside core hours)
  • £160 on‑call payment per rotation
  • Opportunities for ongoing training and professional development

If you’re a hands‑on engineer who takes pride in maintaining high standards and enjoys varied, meaningful work, we’d love to hear from you.
