Maintenance Manager

£50 - 60k (subject to experience)

Location: London - site-based across our estate, 5 days a week, Mon - Fri

Reporting Line: Head of Facilities

We're looking for a hands-on Maintenance Manager to join the team. We currently operate 7 restaurants, with new openings planned in the future.

The role has three core parts:

• Delivering both planned (PPM) and reactive maintenance across our sites yourself, to a consistently high standard
• Coordinating external contractors on the more complex or specialist jobs, then overseeing and signing off their work
• Managing and supporting our Maintenance Technician day-to-day, allocating tasks across the estate

This is a fully site-based role across our estate and office, with no set remote working days.

Role Requirements:

• A recognised trade background with strong all-round practical skills
• Running a structured PPM programme across all sites - identifying defects promptly and keeping the estate in excellent condition with minimal downtime
• Carrying out reactive maintenance across the estate - carpentry, tiling, plumbing and drainage, painting and decorating, proofing, furniture repairs, refrigeration, catering equipment and HVAC - safely and to a high standard of finish
• Sourcing materials and supplies for planned and reactive works - researching products, obtaining quotes where required, and ensuring timely availability within budget
• Managing statutory compliance across the estate - fire safety, electrical, gas, water and lifts - keeping certification up to date, inspections scheduled and remedial actions tracked through to completion
• Managing and prioritising your own task list independently across multiple sites, balancing planned and reactive works
• Recognising when a job is more complex or specialist, liaising with external contractors, overseeing their works on site and signing off completed jobs
• Managing and supporting the Maintenance Technician - overseeing their rota, allocating and prioritising tasks, and providing guidance to ensure consistent standards
• Recording everything and managing the full admin side - logging, tracking, approvals and records - through Access Maintain, Microsoft Teams and Notion
• Working within delegated maintenance budgets and taking ownership of tools and equipment across the estate
• Championing a repair-first approach - extending the life of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and identifying opportunities to reduce energy consumption and waste
