Multi-Skilled Maintenance Hand (Retirement Village)

Handy with a drill, a paintbrush and a tap washer? The shopping centre in Worcester has a list waiting for you. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Worcester-based, with most of your time spent at a shopping centre.

• Hang doors, fit locks and adjust sliding door rails
• Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
• Clear gutters and fix minor roof leaks with sealant
• Service pool pumps, gate motors and garage door openers
• Get quotes from outside contractors and let them in for bigger jobs
• Patch, sand and paint walls, doors and ceilings between tenants
• Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)

• At least 2 years of general building maintenance work you can back up with references
• Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus
• Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must
• Available for the occasional weekend emergency
• Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
• Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store

• Gate motor and intercom repair skills
• Experience with a work order system on a phone app

• Write your CV as a skills list first: painting, tiling, plumbing, gate motors, pools. Managers scan for the skills their site needs.
• Before-and-after photos on your phone can win you this job. Offer to show them at the interview.
