You will be primarily based in Lee Point but are expected to float between Lee Point, Amnis House, Melbourn Point and Bottleworks on Saturdays. You will carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM), routine compliance checks, proactive inspections and reactive repairs, ensuring our buildings and facilities are maintained to a high standard and providing an excellent living experience for our students.

Planned Maintenance and Compliance

• Carry out routine inspections of plant rooms, resident clusters, bedrooms, bathrooms, communal areas and building services.
• Identify potential issues, complete minor repairs and escalate defects requiring further investigation.

Reactive and General Maintenance

• Respond to maintenance requests raised by residents and site teams, prioritising work in line with agreed service level agreements (SLAs).
• Undertake minor plumbing, painting, carpentry, fixture and fitting repairs and light electrical work.
• Diagnose faults with building services and equipment, escalating specialist or safety-critical works where required.

Building Systems and Maintenance Records

• Use Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) systems to manage work orders, record PPM completion, update maintenance logs and track outstanding repairs.
• Monitor Building Management Systems (BMS) for alarms, faults and abnormal operating conditions, escalating issues as necessary.
• Maintain accurate compliance records, inspection reports and handovers.

Health, Safety and Site Standards

• Follow health and safety procedures and complete assigned safety and compliance checks.
• Maintain clean, safe and organised plant rooms, maintenance stores, bin stores and external areas.
• Liaise with contractors, provide site access and monitor work quality, escalating concerns to management.
• Maintain tools, equipment and spare parts, reporting replenishment requirements.

Resident Experience and Team Support

• Support room inspections, summer turnaround, snagging and preparation of residences for new student arrivals.
• Work collaboratively with site teams and travel between residences as required.

• An understanding of planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance and building compliance routines.
• Confidence using digital maintenance systems such as CAFM, with knowledge of BMS systems an advantage.
• Good fault-finding, organisational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to prioritise tasks and work independently.
• A strong commitment to health and safety, attention to detail and delivering a high standard of service.
