Door Installation jobs in Cowdenbeath

We're a very small property maintenance company based in Kirkcaldy, currently a team of just three. We're looking for a practical, reliable and flexible Handyman / Handywoman to join us for two days per week, occasionally three.

We work across Fife, Edinburgh and Glasgow, predominantly carrying out maintenance and repairs in offices and other commercial premises.

We're not a large facilities management company, and we're looking for someone who understands how a small business operates – happy to be flexible, use their initiative and muck in with whatever needs doing.

The Work

We're looking for a multi-skilled operative who's comfortable with most (not necessarily all) of the following:

• Minor electrics – replacing LED panels, damaged sockets and similar like-for-like repairs. No new installations.
• Minor plumbing – replacing taps, float valves, radiators and general repairs. The plumbing skill is really important for this role, as that is where we are otherwise weak.
• Painting and decorating – from small touch-ups to painting offices.
• General maintenance – doors, locks, fixtures, fittings, minor joinery and odd jobs.
• Other tasks – clearing blocked drains or car park manholes and occasional outdoor maintenance.

Most of our work is indoors, in office environments. We don't generally undertake domestic work, although we occasionally look after properties such as holiday lets.

One day you might be painting an office, the next clearing a blocked manhole. You need to be happy with both.

Hours & Flexibility

• Initially 2 days per week, occasionally 3 depending on workload.
• Some flexibility around which days are worked.
• Could suit someone with other commitments or who's otherwise self-employed.
• We're not yet in a position to offer full-time hours.
• Flexibility works both ways – we're looking for someone who can adapt to the needs of a small business.

Our Setup

• We're a team of just three people, so everyone gets involved.
• Our unit is in Kirkcaldy, where our stock, equipment and shared vans are kept.
• Company vans must be returned to Kirkcaldy after use – they aren't take-home vehicles.
• A full UK driving licence is essential.
• You'll need to be comfortable working independently and dealing with clients.

Who We're Looking For

• Practical, capable and experienced in general maintenance.
• Reliable, adaptable and happy tackling a variety of jobs.
• Able to work independently and know when something is beyond your skill set.
• Not precious about getting your hands dirty.
• Comfortable working as part of a very small team.

You don't need to be an expert in everything. We'd rather have someone who is good at several things, honest about their limitations and willing to get stuck in.
