Role Overview
Due to our ongoing growth, we are currently seeking a number of skilled and self-motivated individuals to join our team to carry out a range of functional system testing, property inspections and carrying out minor repairs.
This is a field based role where you will travel between buildings daily to carry out the inspections and repairs. PLEASE NOTE there is a significant amount of driving required as part of this role. Buildings are located in and around London, the south coast as well as East Anglia and other areas. Inspections are programmed to minimise daily driving where possible however. A company vehicle will be provided.
Systems checked will include fire alarms, emergency lighting, automatic opening vents and other compliance related systems as well as more soft services such as general cleanliness of buildings and condition of windows and doors etc.
Minor repairs required to be carried out will include changing of light fittings, sockets and the like.
Whilst some electrical experience and or fire alarm experience is essential, self-motivation, communication and organisation are some of the key skills required for this role as you will be working autonomously covering a range of properties.
The role will require a large amount of driving between properties so individuals should be comfortable driving and managing their day accordingly.
You will be expected to take ownership of the role, developing it where you see fit to continuously provide a better, more efficient service for our customers.
