Closing Date: 28/08/2026 R3 Repairs is a busy - and growing - property repairs and maintenance company, we’ve been working in Edinburgh, Lothian and the Borders for 15 years, and are wholly owned by East Lothian Housing Association. We carry out work in social housing, private homes and for other businesses – that means there’s lots of variety and the potential for every day to be different.

We carry out repairs to empty homes as well as day-to-day repairs to tenanted/occupied properties. We fit new kitchens and bathrooms, windows and doors. Customer service is key to us, so we make sure our customers receive a full service, including responding to emergencies out of hours.

We’ll pay you between £17.68 – £21.82 per hour - depending on your experience, that’s on-target earnings of between £35,855 and £44,250 a year. We will also make contributions to a company pension scheme and give you free health cover with Simply Health. Of course, we’ll also provide you with the use of a company van and provide you with power tools.

As a Joiner you will report directly to a designated Contracts Manager.

This is an exciting time to become a member of our team following our recent restructure and ambitions to grow and deliver the best possible services to our customers. This role is key in helping us to achieve our business objective to have a reputation for excellence and be recognised as a high-quality provider of repairs and maintenance.
