You’ve earned it.

Be the Backbone of a Brand-New PBSA Development!

Imagine starting your day in one of the world’s most sustainable student accommodation buildings, a brand-new, cutting-edge development in the heart of Battersea, home to 840+ beds. Students from all over the world call this place home, relying on a dedicated team to keep their space safe, functional, and welcoming. That’s where you come in.

As a Maintenance Operative, you’ll be the backbone of this thriving community, tackling day-to-day maintenance, ensuring everything runs smoothly, and helping to create an exceptional living environment. But this isn’t just about fixing things—it’s about being part of something bigger.

They're an ambitious, thriving, and professional company that has been redefining student living for years. With over 4,600 beds under management, they're growing fast—with their largest project yet launching in 2026!

They believe in looking after their team just as much as their do their properties. That’s why they offer a discounted gym membership, travel-to-work and cycle-to-work loans, a generous pension contribution, and free access to Headspace for mental well-being. Plus, with a vibrant, supportive work culture, they come together throughout the year at company events to celebrate their achievements.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Fix resident issues like unblocking sinks, repairing minor damages, and troubleshooting maintenance concerns.
  • Carry out regular building checks, log observations on your iPad, and ensure the property stays in top shape.
  • Work alongside contractors, follow fire and health & safety protocols, and help maintain a secure environment.
  • Collaborate with the customer team to deliver an outstanding student experience.
  • Share knowledge, help train new colleagues, and contribute to team meetings.

 

Your Requirements:

  • Experience in facilities, estates, or property maintenance.
  • A hands-on, proactive approach to problem-solving.
  • A calm, professional attitude, even under pressure.
  • Basic computer literacy (iPads, maintenance software, emails).
  • Bonus points for BMS systems, plumbing, HVAC, or large plant operations experience!

 

We are looking to attract talent from all areas of the property industry for this position. We endeavour to have a fair recruitment process. So apply in any way that suits you: text message, video message, CV - the more creative the better.
