• Visit sites regularly, maintain condition and asset records, and agree maintenance priorities with Practice Managers.
• Support Practice Managers with maintenance requirements, quotations and contractor arrangements, leading more complex issues where needed.
• Respond to urgent problems, prioritising safety, patient care and the ability of a site to operate.
• Oversee contractors, check appropriate safety documentation, monitor performance against SLAs and ensure work is completed safely and satisfactorily.
• Manage agreed maintenance budgets, forecast expenditure and flag potential overspend early, ensuring value for money.
• Use CAFM to maintain accurate maintenance, servicing and cost records, reporting overdue actions and recurring problems.
• Identify future replacement needs and provide information for CAPEX decisions.
• Bring new sites into the maintenance programme as the estate grows.
