We have multiple new Maintenance Technician roles that will provide all reactive and planned maintenance works in a particular zone on our campus. You will work in a team of tradespeople within a zone, you’ll be involved with statutory testing and basic repairs to our building fabric, and electrical and mechanical systems.   

This is a multi-skilled role, for which you’ll receive training and support from across the trades.  You’ll spend a significant proportion of your time on your trade specialism.  No two days will be the same in this varied role where you’ll thrive on providing an outstanding customer service experience to all building users in your zone.  

Flexible Working

• We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time.

Working Arrangements

• Being a large campus that operates all day every day of the year, your regular shift pattern will be Monday to Friday business hours plus occasional weekends on a rota basis (approximately 5 weekends a year, you’ll only ever be required to work 5 days in 7). 

If you are an Electrician, or a multi-skilled tradesperson with an electrical bias, we would love to hear from you.

Safeguarding & DBS

The University of Warwick is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all those we work with.

• Roles involving regulated activity are subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check at the appropriate level, in line with the DBS Code of Practice.
• The University will ensure that anyone subject to a barring order does not undertake any work with the barred group (children and/or adults).
• All employees, volunteers, and partners are expected to share our commitment to safeguarding.

Rehabilitation of Ex-Offenders

The University will not discriminate against applicants who make a disclosure relating to a conviction.

Disclosures at application stage are only visible to the DBS team, not to hiring panels. This ensures fairness and removes bias from the shortlisting process.
