• Using onsite machinery to undertake communal carpet cleaning and completing other cleaning tasks as required.
• Supporting contractors and maintenance colleagues, including assisting the electrician when required.
• Monitoring equipment and stores through weekly audits and replenishing supplies as needed.

Essential Criteria?

• A good practical knowledge of general maintenance, machinery, carpet-cleaning equipment and power tools.
• The ability to identify and resolve problems while following health and safety guidance, SOPs and risk assessments.
