- Internal and external painting and decorating as required
- General site maintenance to ensure the premises remain safe, tidy, and fully compliant with licensing standards
What We're Looking For:
- Experience in general building maintenance, repairs, or a similar facilities role
- Practical problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently
- A proactive approach and excellent attention to detail
- Good physical fitness and willingness to work outdoors in all weather conditions
