About the Opportunity
We are seeking a dependable and motivated Property Maintenance Operative / Handyman to join a large and growing residential property company on a full-time, permanent basis.
This is a varied and hands-on role, ideal for someone with a broad property maintenance background who enjoys working independently and takes pride in maintaining residential properties to a high standard.

The successful candidate will be proactive, organised and safety-conscious, with the ability to manage their own workload effectively across multiple locations.

* Assisting with the maintenance and testing of security systems to ensure properties remain safe and secure.
* Responding to maintenance requests and carrying out reactive repairs.
* Liaising with residents, contractors and internal departments to coordinate works.
* Maintaining communal areas and external spaces to a high standard.
* Ensuring all work is completed safely, efficiently and in line with company procedures and health and safety requirements.
Working Hours
The standard working pattern is Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:30pm, covering sites across Berkshire, North London, Hertfordshire, Kent and other locations as required.
There will be occasional visits to the head office to discuss ongoing works, property requirements and upcoming projects.
While the role is primarily office-hours based, there may occasionally be a requirement to work additional hours to respond to urgent maintenance issues or operational needs. Overtime is expected to be infrequent and only undertaken when necessary.

* Has previous experience within property maintenance, facilities management, construction, building services or a similar practical trade.

* Can organise and prioritise tasks effectively with minimal supervision.
* Demonstrates a professional, practical and positive approach to work.
