General Maintenance Technician (Hotel)

Every day is different here: small repairs, painting and planned maintenance at the city hotel in Epping. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Epping; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.
