Handyman jobs in Waterlooville

We’re looking for a practical and dependable Handyperson / Maintenance Operative to take ownership of a small portfolio of hospitality properties.

Rather than constantly moving between unfamiliar sites, you’ll work across a handful of regular locations, getting to know each property, the people who work there and the maintenance issues that matter most.

The aim is simple: treat those sites like they’re your own.

You’ll handle day-to-day repairs, planned maintenance and minor improvement works, spot problems before they become bigger issues and help keep each property safe, presentable and operating smoothly.

This is a role for someone who enjoys responsibility, takes pride in their work and likes the idea of genuinely owning the condition of the sites they look after.

• Take day-to-day ownership of a small portfolio of hospitality properties.
• Build a strong understanding of each site’s layout, condition and recurring maintenance needs.
• Carry out general building repairs, planned maintenance and reactive works.
• Complete minor carpentry, plumbing, decorating and general building tasks.
• Repair doors, locks, ironmongery, fixtures, fittings and furniture.
• Identify defects early and resolve straightforward issues before they develop.
• Recognise when specialist support is required and escalate accordingly.
• Keep site teams informed and build strong working relationships with customers.
• Complete accurate job notes, photographs and maintenance records.
• Help maintain a consistently high standard of presentation across the properties.
• Leave work areas clean, safe and properly finished.
• Work in accordance with company health & safety procedures.

We’re looking for someone who is practical, reliable and naturally takes ownership.

You don’t need to be a qualified specialist in every trade. More important is broad maintenance experience, good judgement and the confidence to solve everyday property problems properly.

You’ll ideally have:

• Experience in property maintenance, facilities maintenance, building services or a similar practical role.
• Good general maintenance and repair skills.
• The ability to diagnose straightforward faults and find sensible solutions.
• Pride in workmanship and attention to detail.
• The ability to build good relationships with site teams.
• A proactive approach — spotting what needs doing rather than waiting to be told.
• The confidence to work independently and manage priorities across several regular sites.
• Good communication and customer service skills.
• A full UK driving licence.

• Salary of up to £38,000 per year, depending on experience.
• Company van and fuel card.
• Permanent, full-time position.
• A small, consistent portfolio of sites rather than constantly changing locations.
• Genuine ownership and responsibility for the properties you support.
• Varied practical work across hospitality environments.
• Support from experienced operational and specialist trade teams.
• Training and development opportunities.
• Opportunities to progress as the business grows.
