Maintenance Person

£30,000–£35,000 + Overtime | 5% Pension | Paid Holiday: 23 Days + 3 Days at Christmas
Monday–Friday | 8:30am–5pm (flexibility required)

Are you a practical, hands-on person who enjoys variety and takes pride in keeping a workplace running smoothly?
My client, a respected manufacturing business based in Milton Keynes, is seeking a reliable and versatile Maintenance Person to join their team. This role would suit a former school caretaker, someone from hotel/facilities maintenance, or an experienced trades person seeking more security, routine, and work-life balance.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for the general maintenance and upkeep of the factory, office spaces, equipment, and grounds. The work is varied — from unblocking toilets to touching up paintwork to supporting contractor visits. The ideal person enjoys being the “go‑to” problem-solver and can communicate confidently with colleagues at all levels.

Key Responsibilities

• Repairs & Maintenance: Carry out planned and reactive tasks across buildings, machinery, equipment, and grounds.
• Plumbing: Unblocking toilets, fixing taps, and addressing basic plumbing issues (within competency).
• Electrical: Minor electrical duties only — most electrical work is handled by qualified tradespeople.
• Carpentry: Basic repairs to doors, cabinets, shelves, and flooring.
• Decorating & Cosmetic Upkeep:
• Painting internal and external walls
• Painting skirting boards
• Replacing carpet tiles
• General touch-ups to keep the site looking presentable
• Grounds Maintenance: Basic upkeep including planting bulbs and light garden maintenance.
• Machinery: Support minor repairs and maintenance.
• Health & Safety: Conduct routine checks, identify hazards, and promote a safe working environment.
• Record Keeping: Log completed tasks and materials used, escalating issues where needed.
• Contractor Liaison: Coordinate and supervise specialist contractors.
