Our client is keen to consider candidates based across the region of North Home Counties, not just Bedfordshire, so if you live in Hertfordshire, Essex, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire or Cambridgeshire please do apply. You will be fully remote - your operation will involve travel across the region, in the pursuit of your duties.

TJ Search is currently seeking a dedicated Building Maintenance Technician to join our team on behalf of a major client. This role is centred around ensuring the optimal functioning and upkeep of our operational estate, requiring the successful candidate to travel across the Northern Home Counties.

4. Collaborating with other tradespeople, while also acquiring new skills and training.
5. Cleaning gutters, procuring materials and equipment necessary for maintenance works.
6. Accurately completing worksheets and reporting tasks using our dedicated mobile application.

Requirements:

1. Proven experience and knowledge in a similar maintenance role, with a strong background in various trades. For example, you may have a background in carpentry or electrical but prepared to turn your hand to decorating or vice versa.
2. Exceptional customer service skills, with the ability to engage professionally with all stakeholders.
3. Proficiency in English, enabling effective communication with team members and stakeholders.
4. Familiarity with Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel and Outlook, for efficient administrative tasks.
5. Desirable but not essential: knowledge of property services or facilities management, compliance or trades experience, and IPAF/PASMA training.
6. Ability to work independently, demonstrating initiative and reliability.
7. A full, clean driving licence is essential for this role, as it involves travel across Greater London with a vehicle provided for business use.

This is a full-time, permanent position with working hours from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.

Our client can offer an attractive benefits package to their employees, reflecting their commitment to their well-being and professional development. You will be provided with a van to carry out your duties.
