Property Maintenance Technician

Landlords’ Little Helper is an Edinburgh\-based property services company established in 2017\. We support private landlords, holiday let owners and letting agents with a full range of services including holiday let changeovers, end of tenancy cleans, planned and reactive maintenance, and landlord compliance testing. We currently look after over 200 properties across Edinburgh, Midlothian and East Lothian.

We are growing our maintenance division and are looking for an experienced and reliable Property Maintenance Technician to join our team. This is a hands\-on role suited to someone comfortable working independently, solving problems quickly, and delivering high standards of workmanship.

(fixing leaks, toilet flushes, replacing taps, fault\-finding small plumbing issues, repairing locks, fixing blinds and curtain poles, replacing sockets or light fittings/bulbs)

• Small refurb projects

(bathrooms, flooring, silicone work, painting and decorating, minor joinery)

• Maintenance in empty properties

(cabinet repairs, water tank insulation, resealing, minor plastering/touch\-ups, furniture repairs)

• Light outdoor tasks

(basic garden tidy\-ups, clearing leaves, removing moss/algae, gritting paths in winter)

• Supporting our holiday let teams

(replacing bulbs and consumables, moving furniture, delivering/collecting linen)

• Carrying out compliance checks if qualified

(PAT testing, Legionella checks, smoke alarm checks, etc.)

• Reporting material needs and recurring issues


• Finding and developing suppliers to get good trade accounts


• Providing simple estimates/quotes for small jobs


• Suggesting improvements to workflows and processes
