Role Responsibility

An exciting opportunity has opened for a Technical Services Officer to work within the Kent County Council (KCC) Property and Facilities Management Team. This is a permanent position with hybrid working arrangements.

As a Technical Services Officer you will work directly for the Technical Service Managers and provide support to them and the wider FM team on all aspects of building services, monitoring the performance of all Hard Services contractors.

You will be required to support the Area Facilities Manager, Contract Officers, and Project Managers by providing support throughout the project lifecycle.

This is an excellent opportunity for a self-motivated individual with excellent people, communication, customer service and problem-solving skills. You will be required to familiarise yourself with the KCC property portfolio, what may involve site visits.

Our offer:

- an excellent local government pension scheme

- flexible working

- a generous holiday entitlement of 28 days

- training and career development opportunities

- childcare voucher scheme which can be used to pay for registered childcare for children up to 16 years old

- a staff discount card giving you discounts in shops and health clubs, as well as on travel and insurance and 10% off Kent Adult Education courses

- access to a range of local and national discounts and cashback through our Kent Rewards website

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
