Full job description

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated Team Leader (Painting, Decorating and Associated Services) to join our multi-disciplinary Estates Maintenance Team. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the delivery of painting, decorating, and associated maintenance services across the University Estate, supporting the provision of a safe, attractive, and well-maintained environment for students, staff, and visitors.

The Role

As part of the Estates Trades Team, you will lead and manage a small team responsible for delivering both planned and responsive painting and decorating works throughout the University Estate. You will ensure all work is completed to a high standard, within agreed timescales, and in full compliance with relevant Health and Safety legislation, policies, and procedures.

You will proactively coordinate resources, plan workloads, and monitor performance to maximise efficiency and service delivery. The role requires close collaboration with colleagues across Estates, including Facilities Management, Professional Services, and Environment, Health and Safety Services (EHSS), ensuring a coordinated and customer-focused approach to maintenance activities.

About You

You will be an experienced painting and decorating professional with the ability to lead, motivate, and develop a team. You will possess excellent organisational skills and have experience planning, coordinating, and monitoring maintenance projects within residential, commercial, or institutional environments.

Candidates should be able to demonstrate:

Proven experience in painting, decorating, and associated maintenance services.
Experience of supervising or leading a team and allocating resources effectively.
The ability to plan, coordinate, and monitor both planned and reactive maintenance works.
A sound knowledge and understanding of current Health and Safety legislation and safe working practices.
Experience inspecting, monitoring, and signing off completed works to ensure quality standards are achieved.
An understanding of facilities management and maintenance within residential and commercial properties.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a customer-focused approach.
The ability to work effectively under pressure, prioritise competing demands, and meet deadlines.
A flexible and proactive approach to problem solving, with the ability to work independently and as part of a wider team.
A commitment to continuous improvement and delivering a high-quality service.

This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to play a key role in maintaining and enhancing the University Estate while leading a dedicated team of skilled trades colleagues.

Excellent terms and conditions apply – 36.25 hours/week (working hours will vary between the hours of 7am and 6pm and specific timings will vary between work colleagues to suit any operational needs); 34 days annual leave plus 5 statutory days; contributory pension scheme.

This is a permanent position.

At St Andrews, equality, diversity, and inclusion are central to who we are and form a core pillar of our University Strategy. We are committed to creating a fair, inclusive and supportive workplace, reflected in our participation in national diversity charters and awards, including Athena Swan, Carer Positive and the Race Equality Charter.
