This is an opportunity for hard-working, honest, flexible, dependable, self-motivated person to join Abingdon & Witney College's Estates department as an Estates Maintenance Officer for the Abingdon Campus. Reporting to the Estates Supervisor, the successful candidate will support with the delivering of an efficient and smooth-running operation of the campus's estates with particular focus on the day-to-day management of all maintenance issues and statutory compliance checks. You will also be responsible for maintaining the safety and security of the site and dealing with enquiries from staff, students, contractors, external customers, and the public as necessary. Duties are likely to include but not restricted to diagnosing faults, undertaking first-fix repairs and assuming the role of shift leader to the caretakers that you would be working with. You will have a good understanding of health and safety and provide efficient and effective support to the College and its users including ensuring that the security and that the general appearance of the buildings surrounding areas is maintained to the required standards. It is essential that you have a current driving licence as you may need to occasionally travel between sites. The ideal candidate will also have a construction trade background, commercial cleaning, and security of large sites.

In return, Abingdon & Witney College offer excellent benefits to our employees including generous pension and holiday schemes (with potential Christmas closure days), continued professional development, flexible working options, corporate gym membership, cycle/tech scheme and much more.

Closing date: 7th May 2024 (Midnight)
