Exeter College (part of the University of Oxford) is seeking a Buildings Maintenance Operative to join its Maintenance team, and assist in the repair and maintenance of the College buildings within Oxford.
This is a diverse and interesting role, which will see you interacting with a wide range of people (both within and outside the College), and undertaking maintenance on a variety of types of building (including historic listed buildings).
On a day-to-day basis, you will be responsible for implementing all aspects of the College’s planned and reactive maintenance programmes, and will provide support to a range of Trades people (including plumbing, carpentry, decorating, electrical work, etc). You will also oversee stocks of key maintenance items, as appropriate.
