Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a skilled Maintenance Technician to join the Estates team of a 65 acre site, operating primarily within the maintenance and logistics function. The role is key to supporting the delivery of both planned and reactive maintenance services across a diverse estate that includes listed buildings, residential units, educational facilities, offices, and medical centres.
Salary: £25,000 – £29,092 DOE
Hours: 40 hours per week, 7am–4pm / 8am–5pm on an alternating weekly rota
Location: Lingfield, Surrey (on-site)
Please note: Successful applicants must undertake an Enhanced DBS check (including Barred List, with full referencing) and online screening, in line with safer recruitment and Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance.
The Role
The Maintenance Technician will work both independently and as part of a small team, taking responsibility for day-to-day maintenance tasks, compliance reporting, and pool plant operations across a busy campus environment. The role involves liaising with contractors and site users, ensuring all work is delivered to a high standard with a strong emphasis on health and safety and statutory compliance.
You will be planning and managing your own daily workload (in liaison with the Maintenance Supervisor), assessing jobs, specifying materials, and keeping accurate maintenance records using digital systems. Work will be varied and hands-on, ideal for someone who enjoys a dynamic environment and takes pride in maintaining the integrity and functionality of complex buildings and infrastructure.
About You
The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of health and safety, including risk assessments, method statements and statutory compliance, plus experience in reactive, planned and improvement works in a customer-focused environment. However, for the right person with the right attitude and some relevant experience, there is flexibility around the level of prior knowledge.
You will ideally bring:
• A recognised trade qualification or equivalent experience (e.g. City & Guilds 236 Part I & II, NVQ Level 3 or similar).
• Building or building services maintenance experience in a customer-facing environment.
• Good fault-finding skills and the ability to work from drawings and specifications.
• Ability to work independently, prioritise tasks and meet conflicting deadlines, while also being an effective team player.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to liaise with staff, suppliers and contractors, and handle information with discretion.
• Basic IT skills, including use of email and digital maintenance systems.
• Physical fitness to carry out tasks involving lifting, bending, stretching, working in confined or awkward spaces, and at height using appropriate access equipment.
As the site delivers CQC-regulated services to children and young people, you must be committed to safeguarding and promoting their welfare; an Enhanced DBS with relevant barred list checks will be required prior to commencement.
