Exeter, United Kingdom UPP Ltd Full time

A successful university campus is about so much more than buildings. It’s about the environment, the atmosphere and the people - creating that sense of home that will help students feel safe, secure, and help them thrive. At UPP, we understand just how important this is and that’s why at each of the universities we partner with we have a dedicated onsite team offering a range of facilities management services designed to support the safety of the building and ensure students enjoy a high quality of life throughout their stay.

Here at UPP we have an exciting opportunity for a Maintenance Assistant to work as part of our Exeter team in providing both a planned and responsive maintenance service.

This is a permanent position working 37.5 hours per week Monday to Friday 7.5 hours per day covering the hours between 9.00am and 8.00pm. There is also an opportunity to participate in a call-out rota to attend out-of-hours maintenance requests. The salary is £22,680 per annum.

Role responsibilities as a Maintenance Assistant include:

- Carry out reactive maintenance in accordance with the Service Level Agreement (SLA) and provide front line response when jobs are raised on the Workplace Management System (Planon) utilising a portable electronic device to record job details
- Ensure that the environment is maintained in accordance with the SLA, including keeping the sites clean and well maintained by monitoring plant rooms and common areas
- Assist with statutory testing including fire alarm testing, fire extinguishers, fire blankets and fire detector checks, water temperature monitoring, and emergency lighting checks
- Provide reports (verbal/written and electronic) relating to compliance, maintenance tasks and condition checks
- Report any Health and Safety issues relating to the residence ensuring all information is passed to the relevant Manager(s) and take appropriate immediate actions to reduce risk

We truly care about the experience of our residents and invite you to join our friendly and passionate team to help make a positive difference to students living away from home in our accommodation.

We are looking for you to have worked in a similar role and environment and have great communication and organisation skills, along with the passion to do a great job.

You will have a good understanding of the operational procedures and safe working practices of building services and systems as well as good understanding of health and safety, with the ability to always work in a safe manner.

You will also be prepared to work (with notice) additional hours when needed, especially during the main student arrival and departure weekends.

What we offer:
In return, we are offering a fun and interesting environment to work in with a competitive salary and a great benefits package which includes 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, life insurance, pension, cycle to work scheme, store discounts, as well as access to our UPP Rewards portal, offering discounts from a variety of retailers, restaurants gyms and more.

We also give two paid volunteering days each year to support a charity of your choice.

Our people are at the heart of how we operate and we welcome everyone who shares our values, regardless of background or identity.

Valuing our differences is what makes UPP a growing success and allows everyone to come to work feeling valued and supported.
