**About you**:
Previous experience of working in maintenance operations as a Multi-skilled trade operative is essential, preferably in a higher education institution or comparable environment. You’ll be confident, organised and able to work under pressure, prioritise work tasks and be able to communicate with stakeholders as well as our own engineering staff.
