There are two positions available based out of Royston and Watford but both also covering stations across Hertfordshire.
Some of our most dedicated staff work within support roles and we are looking for two Facilities Assistants. The Facilities Assistant role forms part of the Estates and Facilities support function to policing services.
This is an exciting opportunity to influence and be part of improving our service delivery to create further efficiencies and financial savings.
The successful candidates should have experience in undertaking a range of health and safety tasks including L8 water hygiene, fire and panic alarms, emergency lights and general health and safety tasks associated with the building services. These tasks will be part of a detailed planned maintenance regime that will tie in closely with the works being carried out by external contractors. All reporting of the maintenance will be via PC, therefore a sound working knowledge of Microsoft Office is required.
It is expected that the candidate will have a basic understanding of building services and must be able to undertake general maintenance tasks associated with such equipment, and where necessary specialist training will be provided to undertake these tasks.
This role demands that you have a proactive approach to working as you will be the eyes and ears of the department when working out on the area estate and will be expected to be one step ahead of the game on fault reporting. You will be working in a small group of up to 6 Facilities Assistants (FAs)
There is a lot of lone working so the candidate needs to be self-motivated.
This is a mobile role, and applicant must have a full driving licence and access to a car to travel between sites across Hertfordshire.
