Apprenticeship Overview

Property Maintenance Operatives play an important role in keeping buildings safe, functional and well maintained. They work across a wide range of settings including housing, healthcare, education, hospitality, commercial properties, leisure and retail.

During your apprenticeship, you’ll develop a broad range of practical maintenance skills. This includes carrying out minor repairs to areas such as carpentry & joinery, plumbing, plastering, brick & blockwork, tiling, painting & decorating, flooring, roofing, fencing, drainage and external areas.

You’ll also learn how to plan and organise maintenance tasks, interpret job sheets and drawings, select appropriate materials, use tools and equipment safely and record & report your work. An important part of the role is understanding your own level of competence and knowing when a repair needs to be escalated to a supervisor or specialist trade.
