Playground Maintenance & Inspection Operative

We’re

seeking a professional Playground Maintenance & Inspection Electrician

Operative to join our Estates team as we build new in-house services for our

schools. Reporting to the Estates Manager, you will carry out regular

inspections of playground equipment and outdoor areas, helping to spot and

address any issues before they become problems. From completing routine checks

and keeping accurate records, to carrying out minor repairs and coordinating

larger projects with trusted contractors.

Your work will ensure that every play space remains clean, safe, and

enjoyable for all. You’ll also support ongoing improvements and refurbishment

projects, helping to enhance outdoor environments for future generations of

pupils.

About You

We’re

looking for someone who brings a practical, hands-on approach along with a

genuine commitment to safety and high standards. Ideally, you’ll hold (or be

willing to work towards) an RPII Operational Playground Inspector certification

and have a good understanding of playground safety standards, alongside a solid

awareness of health and safety. Experience in playground or general site

maintenance would be a real advantage, as would First Aid at Work and

confidence using compliance or helpdesk systems. You’ll be comfortable

following work instructions, working both independently and as part of a team
