Make a visible difference every day. Join our Estates team and take pride in delivering high‑quality painting and decorating across a flagship operational site. You’ll help keep workspaces safe, compliant and looking their best, so colleagues and visitors enjoy a professional environment that supports productivity and wellbeing.

About the role

As our Painter and Decorator, you will carry out planned and reactive painting and decorating to a high standard across internal and external areas. You’ll prepare surfaces, select appropriate materials, and complete work efficiently with minimal disruption to site operations. Safety is paramount: you’ll follow risk assessments, method statements, COSHH guidance and permit‑to‑work processes, using the right PPE at all times. You will also coordinate with site stakeholders and service teams, report defects or hazards you observe, maintain tidy work areas, and submit accurate stock counts and contractual documentation tied to maintenance works.

What you’ll do

• Deliver painting and decorating across walls, ceilings, woodwork, floors and external surfaces, ensuring a high‑quality finish.
• Prepare surfaces (cleaning, sanding, filling, priming) and repair minor defects prior to decoration.
• Complete planned maintenance and respond to reactive requests to agreed priorities and timescales.
• Work safely in live operational areas, including at height and around sensitive environments; comply with Health & Safety and permit‑to‑work requirements.
• Use tools, equipment and materials correctly; store and maintain them safely; minimise waste.
• Liaise with clients, site management and service teams to coordinate access and reduce disruption.
• Identify and report defects, hazards or additional repair needs encountered during works.
• Keep work areas clean and presentable; ensure spaces are safe after task completion.
• Submit monthly stock counts and complete contractual documents to apportion costs for maintenance works.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience as a painter/decorator in commercial, industrial or facilities environments.
• Strong attention to detail; pride in delivering consistent, high‑quality workmanship.
• Self‑motivated, flexible and able to manage changing priorities and workload within agreed timescales.
• Logical problem‑solver; calm under pressure and responsive to urgency.
• Sound understanding of Health & Safety at Work regulations; clear, accurate reporting skills.
• Desirable: NVQ Level 2 (or equivalent) in Painting & Decorating; basic IT skills for reporting and logging work.

Why join us

Be part of a team that helps people belong, act and thrive, with meaningful work that improves everyday experiences across our client sites. Our messaging reflects real employee experiences and our commitment to safe, high‑quality service delivery.
