• Diagnose and repair electrical, plumbing, and HVAC faults to minimise disruption to tenants and members.
• Monitor and maintain building systems such as fire alarms, intruder alarms, access control, lighting, and heating/cooling equipment.
• Work closely with the facilities and operations teams and third parties to ensure all spaces remain safe, compliant, and fully operational.
• Liaise with external contractors and suppliers when specialist support is required, ensuring quality and value for money.
• Complete maintenance logs, inspection reports, regular testing and statutory checks accurately and on time.
• Create and maintain an inventory of spares and accessories.
• Support office moves, refurbishments, and fit-out projects across both the residential and commercial as needed.
• Promote a strong health, safety, and compliance culture across all sites.

Key Skills & Experience

• Previous experience in property, facilities management, or coworking environments.
• Competent across multiple trades (electrical, plumbing, carpentry, or mechanical).
• Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to assess issues quickly and work independently.
• Strong communication skills with a customer-first mindset.
• Understanding of building compliance standards (e.g. fire safety, water hygiene, PAT testing).
