Job Description:

Senior Multi-Trade Maintenance Technician - Self-Employed

Location: London
Working pattern: Monday-Friday, 5 days per week
Contract: Self-employed
Rate: £237 per day / £60,000 per year

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Multi-Trade Maintenance Technician to join a busy property team, working across a portfolio of commercial and occupied buildings throughout London.

This is a fully hands-on role and would suit an experienced multi-trader who is confident working independently and can turn their hand to a wide range of maintenance and building works.

The ideal candidate will be particularly strong in carpentry and partition/stud-wall work, alongside general building maintenance, plumbing, decorating and making-good.

You’ll be working five days per week on a self-employed basis, providing ongoing support to the property team and taking ownership of repairs and maintenance across the portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out planned and reactive maintenance across commercial and occupied properties.
• Complete carpentry and joinery works, including doors, frames, skirting, architraves, ironmongery and general timber repairs.
• Construct and repair timber and/or metal stud partitions, including setting out, framing, plasterboarding and making good.
• Undertake first and second-fix carpentry.
• Complete minor plumbing repairs, including leaks, taps, toilets, sinks, wastes and associated pipework.
• Carry out plasterboard repairs, patching and general making-good.
• Complete painting and decorating to a high standard.
• Undertake tiling, silicone/mastic work and other finishing repairs.
• Carry out general building-fabric maintenance and minor external repairs where required.
• Diagnose faults and determine the appropriate repair or remedial action.
• Work independently and manage jobs from initial assessment through to completion.
• Liaise professionally with building teams, occupiers and other contractors.
• Keep work areas safe, clean and presentable.
• Identify when specialist contractors are required and support their access where necessary.
• Complete maintenance records, job updates and photographs accurately.

About You

We're looking for someone who is genuinely multi-trade, rather than someone whose experience is predominantly in one discipline.

You should have:

• Strong hands-on experience in carpentry/joinery.
• Proven experience constructing stud walls/partitions - this is an important part of the role.
• Good knowledge of first and second-fix carpentry.
• Practical plumbing and general maintenance experience.
• Good decorating and finishing skills.
• Experience working within commercial, residential, hospitality or other occupied environments.
• The ability to diagnose problems and work independently.
• Excellent attention to detail and pride in the quality of your work.
• A professional approach when working around customers, clients and building occupants.
• Your own tools suitable for multi-trade maintenance.
• The ability to commit to five days per week.
• Self-employed status / ability to work on a self-employed basis.
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle would be highly desirable.

Desirable Qualifications

• CSCS
• IPAF
• PASMA
• Asbestos Awareness
• Working at Height
• First Aid
• Relevant carpentry, joinery or building qualifications

Why Apply?

This is a great opportunity for an experienced multi-trader looking for consistent, ongoing work five days a week, rather than ad-hoc contracting.

You'll have the opportunity to become a key part of the maintenance team, working across a varied portfolio and using your full range of practical skills.

If you're a hands-on multi-trader who takes pride in doing a job properly and can confidently work across carpentry, stud partitions, plumbing, decorating and general building maintenance, we'd love to hear from you.
