2. Respond promptly to fabric-related faults and help-desk calls, covering walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, doors, windows, drainage, lighting and décor.
3. Deliver minor repairs, painting/redecorating and other semi-skilled tasks while actively supporting planned-preventive maintenance (PPM) activities.
4. Carry out technical surveys, report findings, and prepare concise costed scopes for minor works.
5. Coordinate, brief and supervise specialist sub-contractors; inspect and sign off completed works.
6. Liaise directly with clients, handle enquiries or complaints, and communicate actions taken to line management.
7. Champion continuous improvement by suggesting and implementing service enhancements.
8. Maintain tools, equipment and safe working areas, and complete all required training.
9. Provide cover at nearby sites and help the team develop contingency measures to keep services fully operational.
