In‑House Maintenance Operative
Nationwide | Full-Time | up to £40,000
We’re looking for a skilled, proactive Handy Person to join our in‑house maintenance team and help keep our 69 Brasseries running smoothly, safely, and looking their best. If you’re the kind of person who can turn your hand to almost anything, from fixing a leak to refreshing a room, this is a role where your versatility truly shines. You’ll be the go‑to expert for day‑to‑day repairs, improvements, and preventative maintenance. Your work helps reduce costs, prevent issues before they escalate, and ensure every site remains functional, safe, and welcoming.
What you’ll do
- Carrying out day‑to‑day fixes across our Brasseries, ensuring all facilities remain safe, functional, and presentable
- Repairing or replacing damaged doors, hinges, locks, handles, skirting boards, and internal fittings
- Installing shelving, brackets, and other small fixtures
- Repairing broken items, and ensuring all communal and office spaces remain in good working order
- Diagnosing issues on-site and completing repairs efficiently to minimise downtime and disruption
- Conducting preventative maintenance checks to identify potential problems early
- Completing full-room repaints, touch-ups, and cosmetic improvements to maintain a clean, professional environment
- Repairing and patching plaster, filling holes, sanding surfaces, and preparing areas for painting
- Refreshing skirting boards, door frames, and internal woodwork
What you’ll bring
- Strong all‑round technical skills across multiple trades (plumbing, carpentry, decorating)
- A practical, problem‑solving mindset — spotting issues before they become costly
- Understanding of Health & Safety standards, risk assessments, and safe tool use
You’ll have
- Proven experience as a handyman, maintenance operative, or similar role
- Full UK driving licence with your own tools and van/vehicle
- Relevant trade certificates are a bonus, but not essential
- Clear communication skills and the ability to work flexibly across the week
