Facilities and Maintenance Technician

We are looking for a Facilities and Maintenance Technician to join our Facilities team and help ensure the safe, efficient and professional operation of Nottingham Playhouse.

Reporting to the Facilities & Building Manager, you will undertake a varied programme of planned and reactive maintenance, repairs and minor improvement works across our Grade II* listed building.

You will take a proactive approach to identifying building defects, hazards and maintenance concerns, supporting the Facilities team to maintain a safe, compliant and welcoming environment for our staff, visitors, contractors and audiences.

The role includes daily maintenance walkarounds, planned preventative maintenance, routine compliance checks and supporting contractors on site. You will also provide practical support to teams across the Playhouse, including room setups, workshops, participation activities, events and hires.

About you

We are looking for someone who is practical, proactive and reliable, with experience of maintenance, repairs or facilities work in a workplace, public building, venue or similar environment.

You will have practical knowledge of general building maintenance, including basic mechanical, electrical and plumbing principles, together with an understanding of health and safety requirements relevant to maintenance activities.

You will be confident using tools and equipment safely, able to prioritise your workload and respond to changing operational requirements. Good communication skills are important, as you will work closely with colleagues, contractors and visitors and will need to provide clear updates on maintenance activity.

Experience of using Trello, CAFM systems or similar task-management platforms would be useful.

Experience within a theatre, arts venue, heritage or listed building, or public-facing environment is desirable but not essential. Relevant trade, maintenance or facilities qualifications, or equivalent practical experience, are welcomed.

We recognise that candidates may not have every skill or experience outlined in the person specification. We are committed to developing and nurturing our employees and will provide training and support where required.
