Maintenance Technician

Role overview

Yugo is hiring a Maintenance Technician for its student accommodation in central Swansea. This is a hands-on position where no two days are expected to be the same, and the focus is on keeping the residence safe, functional, and well cared for inside and out.

The role is based at CRM Crown Place in UK-Swansea and follows a 40-hour work week, Monday to Friday. The annual salary for the position is £27,040.

The successful person will help maintain the general condition of the property, including communal spaces, carry out repairs and routine maintenance, and complete small-scale redecoration work when needed.

Key duties

• Maintain the property to a consistently high standard so it remains attractive, functional, and well looked after.

What the role requires
