• Conduct regular site inspections, identifying and reporting issues and opportunities for improvement.
• Respond to facilities requests and resolve issues in a timely manner using helpdesk or ticketing systems.
• Support health and safety compliance activities, including fire alarm testing, emergency lighting and equipment checks.
• Help maintain a safe, clean and efficient working environment, including supporting office moves, equipment setup and consumable stock management.

What You'll Bring

• Previous experience in a facilities or maintenance technician role within a commercial or industrial environment.
• Knowledge of building systems and general maintenance activities, including electrical, mechanical and plumbing.
• A good understanding of health and safety procedures and compliance requirements.
• Confidence carrying out manual tasks, using tools safely and working both indoors and outdoors.
• The ability to prioritise your workload and respond quickly to changing needs in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
