Due to continuous growth, we are seeking a number of multi-skilled engineers. As part of our service delivery team, you’ll be there for our customers whenever they need you. Big jobs, little jobs, all kinds of jobs — you’ll solve problems and make sure that all our properties and our customers receive the highest levels of service. In your role, you’ll build strong relationships, make new friends, and have a genuinely positive impact on the lives of thousands of people.

You will take pride in the repairs and maintenance of domestic properties and be able to demonstrate a wide range of trade skills in addition to a primary trade.

You’ll need to have a full, clean driving licence, willing to work 40 hours per week and be prepared to join an on-call rota which is paid, set at an additional £735 per on-call week; during this week you would work to adjusted hours on a rota basis. Due to the nature of the role, a DBS check will be completed for the successful applicant.

We want someone who:

• Is a genuine all-rounder with strong practical skills and first-hand knowledge of plumbing, carpentry, and plastering trades
• Has plenty of flexibility, as well as a proven ability to diagnose, undertake and complete repairs to high levels of quality and customer satisfaction
• Is seen as a people person with excellent customer service skills
• Feels comfortable working within a social housing environment
• Has an outstanding work ethic and the drive to complete work to an excellent standard without close supervision.

This is a mobile role covering Bristol (BS37) and the surrounding areas, and will therefore involve extensive travel to and from the surrounding areas.

Your previous experience may be in roles as a carpenter, plumber, plasterer, kitchen fitter, or bathroom fitter, amongst others.

Being able to express yourself at work helps you connect with people and gives you the freedom to perform better at your job. We believe diversity helps drive success, so we want to build a culture where all our differences are celebrated. Everybody should feel that they belong and are able to bring their true, authentic selves to work. We want an organisation that reflects the communities and the people that we serve and if we can achieve this, we know that we will create an environment where everyone is included and can thrive.

Closing date for applications is Wednesday 7 June 2023.

Depending on the number of applications received, we reserve the right to close this advert early. We therefore encourage an early application.

If this sounds like you, you’ll feel right at home here. At Bromford we give both customers and colleagues the opportunity to realise their potential. In our team you’ll do incredible work and be rewarded for doing so. Not just in the smiling faces of the thriving communities that you help build, but in the trust, support, training, success and friendship you’ll find in our team.

If you can be bold, be honest, be you and be brilliant… you belong at Bromford. Apply now.

In addition to a competitive salary, we will offer you a fantastic benefits package. This includes; 27 days holiday (plus statutory bank holidays); a choice of defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes; trust-based flexible working, and a £500 personal allowance to spend on your choice of things like private medical cover, dental treatment and gym membership.
