Job Description

We're hiring on behalf of a leading residential provider for a hands-on, reliable Maintenance Operative to join their on-site team on a permanent basis. This is a great opportunity to step into a visible, resident-facing role that blends maintenance with day-to-day service and safety support.

You'll be the go-to person for general repairs, compliance support, and site upkeep - helping to ensure the property is safe, functional, and welcoming for all residents.

What You'll Be Doing:

* Carrying out day-to-day maintenance across the site - minor plumbing tasks (e.g. fixing leaks, blocked drains, replacing fittings), plus basic electrical and carpentry jobs
* Supporting seasonal upkeep, internal and external repairs, and small refurbishments
* Checking HVAC systems (e.g. filter replacements, minor diagnostics) and assisting with plant room upkeep
* Completing regular site inspections: fire safety, emergency lighting, risers, bin stores, and security features
* Logging and escalating faults, managing compliance routines
* Coordinating resident appointments and contractor visits, ensuring works are completed to standard
* Maintaining digital records for inspections, repairs, and compliance tasks
* Providing great customer service with a professional, friendly attitude

What We're Looking For:

* Strong experience in property maintenance or facilities roles
* A background or qualification in plumbing is highly desirable
* Confident in a wide range of minor repairs - from pipes to panels to plant checks
* Highly organised, proactive, and responsive to requests
* Comfortable using digital tools for task tracking and reporting
* A team player who takes pride in keeping buildings safe, tidy, and well-maintained
* Eligible to work in the UK and fluent in English

Desirable:

* NVQ or trade qualifications (plumbing, electrical, or general maintenance)
* Experience in planned/preventative maintenance
* Fire marshal, first aid, or health & safety training (or happy to train)

Location: Winchester
Hours: Part time: 2 days per week, 15 hours

This is a great chance to join a well-respected residential team, develop your technical skills, and contribute to a safe and high-quality living environment.
