The Maintenance Technician is responsible for maintaining, inspecting, repairing and improving equipment and facilities across Tesco sites. Requirements typically include relevant electrical, mechanical or multi-skilled engineering experience, practical fault-finding ability, and appropriate technical qualifications such as an NVQ, City & Guilds or equivalent. Candidates should understand health and safety procedures, work reliably under pressure and be comfortable working shifts, including evenings, weekends or call-outs where required. The role also requires good communication, accurate maintenance records and a proactive approach to preventing equipment failures. Experience in retail, distribution, manufacturing or facilities maintenance is advantageous.
