Property Maintenance Operative Apprenticeship Level 2

Attendance: Full Time, Work Based Learning

Course code: AP0064

Is this apprenticeship right for me?

The primary role of a property maintenance operative is to optimise property condition and quality and to ensure the building is kept in a safe working condition.

Property maintenance operatives need to maintain a high level of quality, providing maximum satisfaction to customers, clients, guests and team.

They will understand the mechanism of buildings including electrical, plumbing, plant, safety systems and equipment; provide first and immediate response to fault finding, whilst maximising quality and ensuring cost effectiveness, and ensure prevention of major damage that could result in extensive costs and minimise reactive intervention.
