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.
Leasingham is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated less than 2 miles (3 km) north from Sleaford, and just off the A15. The hamlet of Roxholm lies to the north. When combined with Rauceby figures, there are a total of 916 households as of 2011.[1] The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 1,584.[2]
The B1209 passes through the village to join the A153 further east, passing across Leasingham Moor. Close by to the west is RAF Cranwell. The A15 used to run through the village on Captain's Hill until the 1950s.
Captain's Hill takes its name from the local landowner, Captain Richard Wharton-Myddleton, who had been an ensign at the battle of Waterloo. He lived in Leasingham Hall (built about 1836) now a Grade II listed house.[3] On 4 January 2022, this hall had a renovation to transform it into 6 flats, however work could not begin initially due to safety concerns over tree preservation.[4]

Amenities include the Duke of Wellington public house, Busy Bees Preschool, a post office shop, corner shop, farm shop, and two hairdressers.
A local bus service runs every hour to Sleaford, with links to Lincoln, Grantham, Nottingham and Skegness.[6]
