Estates Technician (Landscapes)

Estates & Facilities

Salary:   £23,581 to £26,038 per annum
Closing Date:   Sunday 13 October 2024
Interview Date:   To be confirmed
Reference:  PERM-974-2024

This is a permanent, full-time position.

Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) is located on a beautifully green and pleasant campus just a few minutes’ walk from Lincoln Cathedral, Castle, and the old Roman city. Our story began in the 1860s as an Anglican teacher training college for women, which makes us one of the oldest Higher Education Institutions in the UK. Since then, we've grown, adapted, and modernised to become the thriving university we are today. We're still experts in teaching and education, but we've now got a wider portfolio of exciting degree courses than ever before. We currently offer courses in a wide range of subjects, from Undergraduate Degree level to PhD, and much more in between.

We are seeking to appoint an Estates Technician (Landscapes) to join our busy Estates Team, to deliver a first-class service to Students, Staff and Visitors to the University. You will be expected to work 37 hours per week during a period of 5 out of 7 days as required. (This will include occasional weekends to cover the absence of the Weekend Estates Technician).

The primary role of this position is to operate as a Grounds Maintenance Technician, undertaking a variety of tasks related to the maintenance of grounds both on and off campus. The ideal candidate should have training, background, or experience in grounds maintenance and development. Confidence in interacting with students, staff, and the public, along with clear and accurate communication skills, is essential. A good working knowledge of Microsoft applications such as Word and Outlook is required. While you will mainly work as part of a team, there will be occasions when you will work independently. Therefore, the ability to assess, prioritise Helpdesk tasks, and document actions taken to complete the job is crucial. 

BGU offers a generous employee benefits package including:

  • 25 days holiday for Grades 1-6
  • 35 days holiday for Grades 7+
  • Plus 3 additional discretionary days annual leave over the Christmas period
  • Various pension scheme options including a Teachers Pension scheme offering up to 23.68% Employer Contribution, and BG Flex (a private pension scheme managed by Aviva) offering a 10% employer contribution and the employee contributions are voluntary and flexible.
  • Cycle to Work Scheme 
  • Electric Car Salary Sacrifice Scheme
  • 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme including face to face counselling sessions
  • Agile Working Scheme to support employees work-life balance
