The business focuses on the development of new residential and industrial projects alongside the active management of a diverse portfolio, which includes approximately 5,000 residential plots and commercial and industrial assets with a value in excess of £2 billion.
The company is entering an exciting period of continued growth and is seeking motivated, reliable, and self-driven individuals who take pride in their work and have a genuine interest in property and building maintenance. This role offers the opportunity to join a supportive team within a business that is committed to quality, consistency, and long-term success.
Who we want
MCR Property Group is currently seeking a Construction Maintenance Operative to join our team in the South East to cover a corridor around Luton, Aylesbury and surrounding areas. This is an excellent opportunity to become part of a fast-paced, thriving business that offers genuine opportunities for growth and long-term development. If you are looking to join a company where your skills are valued and your contribution directly supports the delivery and performance of high-quality property assets, we would be pleased to hear from you.
As our new Construction Maintenance Operative, you will be responsible for carrying out routine maintenance works and reactive repairs across a range of residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Your duties will include undertaking tapering and jointing and wider carpentry, minor plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and HVAC repairs, as well as inspecting and maintaining building systems and equipment to ensure they remain safe, compliant, and fully operational. You will respond to maintenance requests in a timely and efficient manner, install, repair, and replace fixtures and appliances where required, and ensure that all working areas are kept clean, safe, and well organised.
The role will require clear communication with property managers, colleagues, and tenants as necessary, alongside effective coordination with other team members to ensure work is completed smoothly and efficiently. Accurate record keeping will also form part of the position, with responsibility for maintaining clear logs of maintenance and repair activities undertaken.
Applicants should have proven experience in a maintenance, handyman, or similar role and possess a strong working knowledge of general repair and maintenance tasks. A basic understanding of plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and HVAC systems is essential, along with the ability to use hand and power tools safely and effectively. You will be expected to demonstrate strong problem-solving skills, good attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a wider team.
Good communication and interpersonal skills are important, as is a proactive and reliable approach to work. A full driving licence and reliable transport are required, along with a willingness to travel to sites across Manchester and the surrounding area. Flexibility to undertake occasional evening or weekend work may be required depending on operational needs. Cladding experience is desirable, and candidates must have their own tools.
What we offer
In return, MCR Property Group offers a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package. This includes 20 days' holiday plus bank holidays, increasing by one additional day for each completed year of service up to a maximum of 25 days, along with your birthday off. The role also offers genuine opportunities for career progression within the company, supported by training, development opportunities, and ongoing health and safety training.
