Job Description

Facilities & Maintenance Operative

Hours: Monday to Friday 08:00-16:00

Location: Cheltenham

Type: Permanent, January Start

Pay: 28,000- 30,000

Are you the kind of person who spots when something needs fixing-and jumps straight on it? Do you enjoy hands-on work, variety in your day, and making a real impact on how a workplace runs? If so, this could be your ideal next move.

We're looking for a practical, proactive Facilities & Maintenance Operative to help keep our busy manufacturing site running smoothly. From tackling small repairs and supporting compliance tasks, to maintaining our grounds and ensuring the workplace always looks its best, you'll become a crucial part of our onsite operations team.

This is a role where no two days are the same-one minute you could be fixing a loose door handle or replacing faulty lighting, the next you could be ensuring pathways are safe, tidying external areas, or helping support basic operational activity.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Carrying out day-to-day repairs and small decorating tasks
  • Fixing minor plumbing issues and responding to maintenance requests
  • Keeping the site safe, clean and well presented
  • Managing consumables and supporting waste and recycling processes
  • Carrying out PAT testing (full training provided)
  • Ensuring external walkways and car parks are hazard-free
  • Supporting production and stores when needed
  • Assisting with pool vehicle management - from MOTs to general upkeep
  • Supporting access and coordination for external contractors on site
  • Visiting external warehouses occasionally to collect equipment or materials

You'll also play a key role in maintaining health & safety standards, spotting issues before they become problems, and liaising with contractors when specialist support is needed.

What You'll Bring

  • Experience in facilities, maintenance or DIY-style work
  • A hands-on, solutions-focused mindset
  • Confidence using basic tools and equipment safely
  • Good organisation, common sense, and attention to detail
  • Full UK driving licence

If you're someone who enjoys practical work and takes pride in a job well done, you'll fit right in.

Why This Role Is a Great Opportunity

You'll join a stable and supportive team where your work genuinely matters. You'll have freedom to plan your day, variety in your tasks, and the chance to improve the environment people work in every single day. We'll provide training where needed-including PAT testing-and you'll have opportunities to support wider site improvements.

What We Offer

  • Salary 28,000- 30,000
  • Permanent full-time role (37.5 hours)
  • 25 days annual leave (increasing with service)
  • 5% employer pension contribution
  • Sick pay & healthcare scheme
  • Life assurance
  • A friendly working environment where your contribution is valued

If you enjoy practical work, want a varied role where you can see your efforts every day, and like being the go-to person who keeps things running, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now and help us keep our site safe, efficient and looking its best!
