Full job description

Share your expertise. Support the team. Deliver great maintenance standards.

At Unite Group, we create Homes for Success through our student accommodation brands, Unite Students and Hello Student. This opportunity is with our Unite Students brand.

Lead Maintenance Operative

Location: Edinburgh
Contract Type: Permanent
Salary: Competitive + benefits

As a Lead Maintenance Operative, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality maintenance across our student accommodation property.

Working closely with the Maintenance Manager and wider operational teams, you`ll carry out hands-on maintenance tasks while also supporting the coordination of day-to-day maintenance activities. You`ll help ensure our buildings remain safe, compliant and well maintained, while stepping into a leadership role when required.

This is a great opportunity for someone with strong technical skills who enjoys problem-solving, taking ownership, and supporting others to deliver consistently high standards.

Your impact

Whilst no two days are the same at Unite Students, here`s a flavour of what you`ll be responsible for in this role:

Deliver hands-on reactive and planned maintenance tasks, ensuring issues are resolved efficiently and to a high standard
Support the day-to-day coordination of maintenance activities, helping manage workload, priorities and service delivery
Maintain safe and compliant buildings, supporting health and safety checks and safe working practices
Step into a lead role when required, providing guidance and support to colleagues and ensuring continuity in the absence of the Maintenance Manager
Monitor and maintain property standards, carrying out low-level repairs and general upkeep across communal areas
Identify, log and track maintenance, safety and operational issues through internal systems
Liaise with contractors and suppliers to support maintenance works where required
Support stock control and ensure materials, tools and PPE are used efficiently
Respond to incidents and emergencies, providing first-line support where needed
Contribute to a positive resident experience by resolving maintenance issues promptly and professionally

Your background

You don`t need to follow a traditional path - what matters most is your technical ability, proactive mindset and commitment to high standards.

To be successful in this role, you will:

Have experience in a maintenance, facilities or property maintenance role.
Be confident delivering reactive repairs and planned maintenance tasks.
Have a good understanding of health and safety and safe working practices.
Be comfortable diagnosing and resolving general building maintenance issues.
Have strong organisational and problem-solving skills.
Enjoy working as part of a team while also being able to work independently.
Have good communication skills and a customer-focused approach.
Technical knowledge of building systems such as plumbing, electrical, HVAC or general building maintenance would be beneficial.

Why it`s great to work with US!

In this values-led organisation, you`ll do work that makes a difference, helping to shape welcoming, vibrant communities where students can thrive. Whether this is your first step or your next one, we`ll help you build skills, confidence and a career you`re proud of.

Alongside a competitive salary, we offer:

A performance-related bonus paid twice a year
25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to buy up to 5 extra days
A generous pension scheme where contributions range between 4% and 11% depending on how much you save
Life assurance worth 4 times your salary
Share save scheme giving you access to purchase Unite Students shares at a discounted rate
Enhanced Family Leave policies
Medicash (Health Cash Plan)
Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
One free volunteering day each year
Retail and hospitality discounts

Alongside these benefits, you`ll also have access to learning and development programmes designed to support your growth and career progression.

If you`re expecting ordinary, think again. We`re US, we`re different - and we`re proud of it.

How far could you go? Join US and find out.
