Building Fabric Technician

Exeter / South Devon | Permanent

Do you take real pride in a job well done — the kind where you stand back, check your own work, and know it’s right?

We’re recruiting on behalf of a well-established facilities maintenance contractor, looking for a skilled Building Fabric Technician to join their team covering a busy retail estate across the Exeter / South Devon region. This is a varied, hands-on role for someone who genuinely enjoys fixing things and isn’t afraid of a bit of everything — one day you might be repairing external signage, the next you’re patching up flooring, replacing a door, or sorting out a section of fencing.

What you’ll be doing

• Carrying out a broad mix of fabric repairs and planned maintenance across a portfolio of retail sites — think carpentry, general repairs, minor building works, external areas and more
• Working to agreed timescales and quality standards, so customers know they can rely on you
• Assessing jobs on-site and feeding back clearly so accurate quotes and materials lists can be put together
• Taking photos and notes to document work completed, so there’s a clear record of what’s been done
• Keeping your van, tools and materials organised so you’re ready for whatever the day throws at you
• Being the friendly, professional face of the contract when you’re dealing with customers on-site

What we’re looking for

• Solid multi-trade experience within building fabric or facilities maintenance
• Confident working independently and managing your own workload
• A good eye for detail and a genuine focus on getting things right first time
• Clear communicator, comfortable liaising with both customers and your contracts manager
• A full UK driving licence, as this role covers an estate across the Exeter / South Devon region

This is a great opportunity to join a business that values quality workmanship and long-term customer relationships — not just getting the job done, but getting it done properly.

Interested? Send your up-to-date CV over and I’ll give you a call for a confidential chat about the role, the client, and what’s on offer.
