Skilled Multi-Trade Maintenance Technician

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.

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
