What you’ll do:

Amro is looking for a committed and skilled Maintenance Operative for our brand new Co-Living scheme, The Rex, in Kingston, opening its doors in September 2025. You'll be crucial in ensuring the smooth operation and upkeep of the building, providing an exceptional living experience for our residents.

You'll be responsible for conducting routine maintenance, addressing repair requests promptly and efficiently, and maintaining the overall safety and functionality of the property. This includes everything from general repairs and preventative maintenance to assisting with minor installations and ensuring all equipment is in good working order.

Beyond day-to-day tasks, you'll also support the practical completion (PC) of the building, ensuring it's ready for residents. This involves overseeing all essential Operations & Maintenance (O&M) documents and managing any post-PC defects and aftercare, making sure all issues are resolved swiftly and effectively.

If you're a hands-on problem-solver with a keen eye for detail and a passion for ensuring residents have a comfortable and well-maintained home, then this could be your next role! You'll be joining our dynamic and growing team of 65+ real estate professionals. The role will be based in London and may require travel from time to time.
