Job Description
Estates Officer
Temporary

Are you an experienced estates or facilities professional who takes pride in a site that's safe, compliant and well run?
About the Role
Working with a further education provider, you'll help manage the upkeep, safety and presentation of the premises so that learners, staff and visitors have an environment that works well every day.
It's a practical role with responsibility attached — you'll be out across the site, overseeing maintenance work, keeping on top of standards and working as part of the wider estates team.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Overseeing the day-to-day maintenance, upkeep and presentation of the premises.
- Arranging and monitoring repairs and planned maintenance work.
- Liaising with contractors and checking work is completed to standard.
- Supporting health and safety compliance across the site.
- Reporting and following up faults, hazards and maintenance issues.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- Experience in an estates, facilities or building maintenance role
- Good working knowledge of health and safety in a premises environment
- A practical, hands-on approach and the confidence to manage your own workload
- Ability to work well as part of a team and on your own initiative
Desirable (but not essential):
- Experience of working with contractors and external suppliers
- Previous experience in an education or similar setting
If you're ready to take on an estates role where your work is noticed every day, we'd love to hear from you.
