Location: Newcastle Open Time.

Hours: Full-time, Monday to Friday, 8:00 am - 4:00 pm

About the Role
We're looking for a dedicated and adaptable Mechanical Maintenance Technician to join our friendly maintenance team. You'll carry out a range of planned and reactive maintenance tasks across a diverse property estate, from historic listed buildings to modern facilities like the Helix.
Day-to-day work will focus mainly on domestic plumbing (around 90% of tasks), including TRVs, sinks, taps, showers, and toilets. The workload stays steady throughout the year, with busier periods during key times such as exam season.
You'll join a supportive team of 10 engineers and plumbers, with an ambitious plan to merge and strengthen the two disciplines into one collaborative unit.
What We're Looking For
* NVQ Level 3 in Engineering Maintenance (or equivalent)
* Full UK Driving Licence
* Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive, can-do attitude
* Polite, reliable, and customer-focused approach
* Willingness to learn and adapt in a varied environment
We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds including higher education, the armed forces, and the public sector - all of which share similar working cultures. Candidates with less experience but the right attitude and potential to develop are also encouraged to apply.
Additional Information
* On-call rotation once every 10 weeks (Monday-Sunday, outside core hours)
* £160 on-call payment per rotation
* Opportunities for ongoing training and professional development
If you're a hands-on engineer who takes pride in maintaining high standards and enjoys varied, meaningful work, we'd love to hear from you.
