Be a VIP in FM.

The Kier Facilities Management team offers an incredibly wide range of innovative management and maintenance solutions, right across the UK - from the RAF Duxford base that welcomes over 20,000 visitors a year, to local fire stations that help protect millions of people. We're a crucial part of Kier Places, providing hard and soft facilities management to hundreds of Government department sites and public buildings - offering you a role that will challenge and reward you, every single day.

Kier Places are recruiting now for a Handyperson to join our team at the Berrywood Hospital in Northampton, supporting the delivery of FM Technical Services solution. Reporting to the Contract Manager, you will undertake reactive maintenance and planned preventative maintenance (PPM) tasks within the hospital.


Key responsibilities

As our new Handyperson, you will carry out and assist with reactive and planned maintenance (PPM) activities in accordance with our quality management system including inspections & preparation for audits. This will include carrying out general, small repairs and carpentry works relating to building damage, along with quoted works, and project lifecycle works.

Working collaboratively with the on-site team, you will ensure Health & Safety policies are always adhered to, both with internal staff and external subcontractors, and to ensure a positive and effective team approach when delivering the contract requirements.


What do we need from you?

The ideal candidate will have previous experience in a similar all-round general maintenance role conducting a variety of different tasks and knowledge of a broad range of craftsmanship and practical skills, with a keen eye for detail.

You will need to have outstanding communication skills and a proactive attitude, alongside some experience within the Building Services, Facilities Management or Property Services sector - previous experience in a hospital or healthcare environment would be a bonus. Water Hygiene/L8 Awareness training is preferable but not essential, as well as having the ability to conduct light plumbing repairs and general electrical replacements.


What will you receive?

You can expect a competitive salary and a strong benefits package that includes:

  • Free Life Assurance

  • Access to our valuable pension scheme - Kier Retirement Savings Plan

  • Plus, many more benefits geared to your wellbeing


Pre-employment checks

It's worth remembering that if you are successful, we'll undertake the relevant / standard pre-employment checks after you have been offered a job. This includes taking up your references, verifying your right to work in the UK, verifying your driving licence (if applicable) and a health assessment.

Due to the nature of this role, you will also be required to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check (applicants with criminal convictions will be treated on a case by case basis. We do not discriminate based on an applicant's criminal record or the details of any offences disclosed to us). Some roles may also be subject to further pre-employment checks.


Make the journey. Leave a legacy.

Being part of Kier means living our values of being Collaborative, Trusted and Focused. We all have the potential to shape our world, and it's through these values that we will leave a lasting legacy. Bring your talent and ambition to Kier and you will be given the scope and opportunity to invest in your own future, to build your expertise and contribute to a rich and diverse culture.
