About the Role
Seaton Estate is one of Scotland's most prestigious holiday and residential parks — a 5-star estate set in the beautiful coastal landscape of Angus, recognised by the Scottish Tourist Board for eight consecutive years. Home to high-quality holiday lodges and an established residential community, we take immense pride in the condition, appearance, and atmosphere of everything within our grounds.
We are looking for a skilled and proactive Handyman / Maintenance Operative to join our on-site team. This is a hands-on, varied role covering the full breadth of estate maintenance — from lodge repairs and plumbing to grounds care and general upkeep. You will play a central role in maintaining the exceptional standards our owners, residents, and guests expect from a 5-star environment.
If you take pride in your work, enjoy variety, and understand what it means to maintain a premium estate, we would love to hear from you.
