Maintenance operative

If you take pride in leaving a flat looking better than you found it, and you're happy to chat with residents along the way, this one's worth a look. It's a hands-on maintenance operative role across two residential buildings in Leeds, working Monday to Friday.

About our client

Our client is one of the UK's leading residential rental landlords. They run modern apartment buildings with an on-site resident services team. How residents feel about where they live matters a lot to them, so they're careful about who they bring in.

The role

You'll be the in-house maintenance operative for two apartment buildings in Leeds, splitting your week between them. Most of the work is reactive repairs and getting empty apartments ready for new residents, so expect plenty of painting and decorating. Contractors handle electrics and other specialist work, so you'll focus on general handyman jobs. Hours are 8:30am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday, with no evenings or weekends. The maintenance team is growing, and the role has real room to develop as it does.

What you'll be doing

• Responding to residents repair requests and getting jobs done within agreed timescales
• Turning around empty apartments, including painting, decorating, lock changes and clearing items
• Carrying out general repairs such as minor plumbing, joinery and fabric repairs
