POSITION OVERVIEW
Multi-Skilled Engineer (Building Trades) – Carpentry Core
Uni Assist are currently recruiting a Multi-Skilled Engineer to support the delivery of planned and reactive facilities maintenance services across client sites throughout the UK.
This role is suited to an experienced engineer with a strong carpentry background (ideally Level 3 qualified) and proven competence across a broad range of building trades.
