Painter and Decorator Apprentice

Introduction

Reporting directly to our on-site Maintenance Manager, the chosen candidate would be responsible for painting and decorating the common areas and some external areas of Marine Court (as directed).

About the Employer

Marine Court is a Grade II listed Streamline Moderne (Art Deco) apartment block on the seafront of St Leonards-on-Sea, part of the town and borough of Hastings in East Sussex. The block was built between 1936 and 1938 and was modelled on the recently launched Cunard ocean liner Queen Mary. The building is 14 stories high and the seafront elevation 416 ft (127 m) long. At the time of opening it was the tallest residential building in Britain. We employ a small team of on-site staff, and the building is managed by a board of directors and a managing agent.

What You'll Do

Answering to our Maintenance Manager, you will be carrying out small repairs and patching to our internal common areas, and painting. Marine Court is Grade 2 listed and a conservation area, so there are special considerations which require specialist knowledge.
