What you'll do

  • Performing general and semi-skilled maintenance activities, including security systems like CCTV and alarms.
  • Conducting monthly checks and tests of fire extinguisher equipment, fire hydrants, and hoses.
  • Completing quarterly RCD testing and inspect Misting Units.
  • Maintaining fire doors and performing flushing and tap temperature tests as per water risk assessments.
  • Undertaking monthly and annual emergency lighting checks.
  • Checking and testing smoke vents as required.
  • Carrying out any other duties as required.

What makes this role unique is you will work alongside the engineers in all maintenance across the site as well as working independently. Prison Security Clearance will be required (Amey will support you through this process).

How you'll work

This role is based on-site.

The standard hours of work are 39 Hours (8am-5pm with 1 hour lunch break, 1 in 3 weekend and 15% shift allowance)

  • Fire; Door Maintenance, Extinguisher Maintenance and Alarm Core Points
  • Emergency Lighting
  • RCD
  • Water Temperature Testing
  • IT skills

Ideally you will be qualified in multiple areas of maintenance as outlined above with experience in general building maintenance.

In addition to this, it would be desirable if you have experience of working within a custodial environment with basic Health and Safety knowledge and exposure to building and system compliance, although this is not essential as we will provide you with the required development you need to bring you up to speed.

We welcome applications from a diverse range of candidates.

If you have most but not all these skills and experiences, we encourage you to apply, as we may be able to offer development or training to support you
