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.
