Facilities Management Technician
London
Generous Salary Plus Benefits
We're looking for a practical, hands-on Facilities Management Technician to join our FM team. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys fixing problems, maintaining buildings to a high standard and taking pride in creating safe, clean and well-presented workspaces for our customers.
This is not a desk-based facilities role. You will report into the FMT Team Leader and spend the majority of your time out in our buildings carrying out inspections, first-fix repairs, maintenance tasks and compliance checks, while working closely with our Centre Management and FM teams to ensure our customers have the best possible experience.
You'll have a genuine "get it done" attitude, enjoy solving day-to-day building issues, and be comfortable turning your hand to everything from basic repairs and decorating to contractor supervision and health & safety compliance.
What You'll Be Doing
Building Maintenance & Repairs
- Carry out first-fix maintenance and minor repairs across our centres.
- Undertake basic decorating, painting and making-good works.
- Respond to reactive maintenance requests and complete assigned tasks through our CAFM system.
- Keep common areas, external areas and landlord spaces clean, safe and in good decorative order.
- Identify issues before they become larger problems and proactively recommend solutions.
- Assist with waste and recycling management, ensuring waste areas remain organised and compliant.
- Record all completed works and maintain accurate maintenance records.
Contractor Management
- Support Facilities Managers with coordinating maintenance contractors and specialist suppliers.
- Conduct contractor inductions and toolbox talks.
- Monitor contractor performance and ensure works are completed safely and to the required standard.
- Ensure contractors comply with Workspace policies and minimise disruption to customers.
Health, Safety & Compliance
- Carry out daily and weekly building inspections.
- Complete fire safety checks, weekly fire alarm tests and emergency lighting inspections.
- Conduct water hygiene checks including outlet flushing and temperature monitoring.
- Complete inspections of plant rooms, risers, roof spaces and other building service areas.
- Maintain accurate compliance records using our maintenance management systems.
- Escalate any health, safety or compliance concerns promptly.
Customer Service
- Build positive relationships with customers and act as a visible facilities presence within the buildings.
- Work closely with Centre Teams to ensure customers receive a prompt and professional service.
- Support the delivery of a safe, compliant and welcoming environment for all occupiers and visitors.
What We're Looking For
Essential
- Previous hands-on maintenance, building services or facilities experience.
- Experience carrying out basic repairs and practical maintenance tasks.
- Good understanding of health and safety within a building environment.
- Strong customer service and communication skills.
- Ability to work independently and use your own initiative.
- Comfortable using IT systems and mobile devices.
- Good attention to detail and organisational skills.
Desirable
- Facilities, maintenance, trade or engineering-related qualification.
- Experience using CAFM or maintenance management systems.
- Understanding of building services including heating, lighting, plumbing, drainage or electrical systems.
