Maintenance Operator
A Maintenance Operator is the go-to person for keeping equipment, systems, and facilities in top working order. They blend technical know-how with hands-on skills to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely. Here's what the role typically involves:
Inspecting and maintaining machinery, such as HVAC systems, pumps, or production equipment.
Performing routine checks and preventive maintenance to avoid breakdowns.
Troubleshooting and repairing faults in mechanical, electrical, or plumbing systems.
Keeping detailed records of maintenance activities and equipment performance.
Collaborating with other departments to schedule repairs and minimize downtime.
Following safety protocols and ensuring compliance with regulations.
You’ll find Maintenance Operators in settings like manufacturing plants, utilities, hospitals, and large commercial buildings. The role often requires a mix of mechanical, electrical, and sometimes plumbing knowledge — plus a good dose of problem-solving and attention to detail2.
Gedling is a village and former civil parish which gives its name to the larger Borough of Gedling in Nottinghamshire, England. It lies 4 miles (6.4 km) north-east of Nottingham city centre. The parish was abolished in 1935 and absorbed into the urban district of Carlton, which in turn was abolished in 1974 on the creation of borough of Gedling. The population of the Gedling ward at the 2011 census was 6,817[1] and 111,787 for the district.[2] Gedling was recorded in the Domesday Book and is still a distinct settlement, although residential, commercial and industrial growth in the wider borough of Gedling and the neighbouring city of Nottingham, boroughs of Broxtowe and Rushcliffe and district of Ashfield (as well as the Derbyshire boroughs of Amber Valley and Erewash, which have become increasingly urban around Nottingham) means it can be difficult to distinguish the village of Gedling from the nearby town of Carlton, with which it has become contiguous.
Gedling was first settled around Saxon times, when the Saxon chief Gedl (hence the name Gedling, coming from the chief "Gedl" and "Ing" being Saxon for People, Gedl-Ing meaning "Gedl's People") sailed up the River Trent, and then up the Little Ouse dyke, until he could get no further upstream. He landed at the spot which is thought to be the present-day site of All Saints' Church. Gedling has had several versions of its name including Ghellinge, Gedlinga, Geddlings, and Gettang.
Despite being a fairly small place, Gedling gives its name to the local borough council which has its offices in nearby Arnold, and also to the local parliamentary constituency, which covers the suburbs to the east of Nottingham, including Arnold and Carlton. Village pubs are the Gedling Inn (once the Chesterfield Arms) and The Willowbrook on Main Road.
