Requirements The ideal candidate is a resourceful technician who can work independently and solve problems on the fly. * Trade Background: NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Joinery/Carpentry is highly preferred. * Multiskilled: Proven ability to "turn your hand" to basic plumbing, minor electrical, and general fabric repairs. * Experience: Previous experience in a Commercial Maintenance or FM environment is essential. * Communication: Comfortable liaising with site managers and office-based clients. * Compliance: Full UK Driving License and a valid CSCS card. * Flexibility: Willingness to travel across the North East, Yorkshire, and Scotland. What’s In It For You? * Door-to-Door Travel: Your workday starts and ends at your front door—full pay for all travel time. * Private Use of Van: A modern company vehicle is provided, with permission for personal use. * Overtime Available: Regular opportunities to increase your earnings through additional hours. * Autonomy: Manage your own daily route and tasks with support from a dedicated central desk. * Stability: Long-term work on established, high-value commercial contracts.
