Location: London Zoo, Regent’s Park
Salary: Up to £38,000

Build something extraordinary — in one of London’s most iconic locations

Imagine starting your day surrounded by historic architecture, world-leading conservation work, and some of the most fascinating animals on the planet. At London Zoo, no two days are the same — and neither is the environment you’ll help care for.

We’re looking for a Multiskilled Engineer or Maintenance Foreman with a strong fabric background to join the on-site team, helping to maintain and improve the buildings, enclosures, and public spaces that support animal welfare, conservation, and unforgettable visitor experiences.

This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in their craft, enjoys variety, and wants to work somewhere truly unique.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll play a vital role in keeping the Zoo running safely, smoothly, and beautifully by:

*

Delivering planned and reactive fabric maintenance across the site

*

Carrying out a wide range of works, including:

*

Carpentry and joinery

*

Bricklaying and blockwork

*

Paving, slab laying, and groundworks

*

General building repairs

*

Supporting minor painting and decorating tasks when required

*

Assisting with basic plumbing or mechanical works where appropriate

*

Responding professionally and promptly to maintenance requests

*

Ensuring all work meets high quality standards, site procedures, and specifications

*

Maintaining a safe, clean, and well-organised working environment

*

Completing job reports, permits, and documentation accurately

*

Working closely with site management, subcontractors, and other trades

All while representing Pareto FM and ZSL with professionalism and pride in a high-profile, public-facing environment.

What we’re looking for

You’ll be someone who:

*

Has previous experience in a similar multiskilled or fabric-focused role

*

Brings strong time management and organisational skills

*

Communicates clearly, works well with others, and shows initiative

*

Understands the built environment and takes a proactive, problem-solving approach

*

Has a solid grasp of health & safety regulations and works safely at all times

*

Delivers excellent customer service with a polite, professional manner

*

Takes pride in doing things properly — even the details people don’t always see

*

Is keen to learn, develop, and grow alongside a supportive team

Why this role is different

*

Work on-site at London Zoo, one of the UK’s most loved attractions

*

Be part of a setting that supports conservation, education, and animal welfare

*

Enjoy a role with real variety, purpose, and visible impact

*

Join a collaborative team where your skills genuinely matter

If you’re a skilled fabric engineer who wants more than “just another site” — this could be the role that makes you proud of where you work.
