General Maintenance Operative - Electrical Bias 
Barnsley - £32,000-£34,000 depending on experience
 
We are looking on behalf of our client for a skilled General Maintenance Operative with an electrical bias to support the safe, efficient, and well-presented running of a diverse property estate.
 
This is a varied, hands-on role suited to someone with practical electrical knowledge who enjoys problem-solving and maintaining high standards across buildings and facilities.

  • Location: BHF Priory Centre, Barnsley with responsibility across the wider estate
  • Salary: £32,000 - £34,000 per annum, dependent on experience
  • Hours: 37.5 per week, Monday to Friday, worked across 4 or 5 days on a rolling roster
  • Contract: Permanent, Full-Time

What You'll Be Doing

  • Carrying out routine maintenance, repairs, and minor electrical works across all buildings.
  • Responding to reactive maintenance issues and supporting planned preventative maintenance.
  • Ensuring electrical systems and equipment are safe, compliant, and functioning effectively.
  • Completing building checks, inspections, and compliance-related tasks.
  • Working collaboratively with internal teams and external contractors to ensure works are completed to specification.
  • Keeping accurate maintenance records and reporting any safety concerns or property issues.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience in a maintenance or building services role, with an electrical bias.
  • Good understanding of electrical safety and practical knowledge of repairs or installations.
  • Ability to diagnose issues and carry out general maintenance across multiple trades.
  • Strong awareness of health and safety and building compliance.
  • Someone proactive, organised, and able to manage their workload across multiple sites.
  • A full driving licence is beneficial due to travel across the estate.
Why This Role Stands Out
