Brighton - £35-£40k | Build-to-Rent
Hyperion Partners is recruiting on behalf of a leading Build-to-Rent (BTR) operator for an experienced Maintenance Manager to take ownership of the technical and reactive maintenance function across a residential portfolio.
This is a hands-on, operationally critical role for someone who takes pride in a well-run building — ideal for a maintenance professional who wants real ownership over standards, budgets and a growing team, within a sector that's investing seriously in resident experience.
The Role
As Maintenance Manager, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day upkeep, safety and performance of the building(s) and communal areas, ensuring residents receive a consistently high standard of service while keeping the scheme compliant, safe and well-maintained.
Key Responsibilities Will Include
- Leading and managing the on-site maintenance team, including recruitment, training, rota management and performance development
- Overseeing all reactive and planned preventative maintenance (PPM) across the building, communal areas, plant and equipment
- Managing relationships with external contractors and specialist suppliers, including tendering, contract management and quality control
- Ensuring full compliance with health & safety legislation, fire safety regulations, and the Building Safety Act 2022, including maintenance of accurate records and certification
- Managing void turnaround works to agreed timescales and standards, working closely with the lettings/leasing team
- Conducting regular property inspections, identifying defects, and prioritising works based on risk and resident impact
- Managing the maintenance budget, including cost control, forecasting, and reporting on spend against plan
- Overseeing statutory testing and servicing schedules (fire systems, lifts, water hygiene/Legionella, electrical, gas, etc.)
- Responding to and resolving resident maintenance queries and complaints in a timely, professional manner
- Managing stock and equipment, including tools, PPE and maintenance supplies
- Supporting capital works and refurbishment projects, liaising with contractors, consultants and the wider asset management team
- Maintaining accurate maintenance records, logs and compliance documentation using the building's property management/CAFM system
- Carrying out or overseeing out-of-hours emergency response and on-call cover as required
- Contributing to continuous improvement of maintenance processes, resident satisfaction, and building performance
- Working closely with the General Manager/Community Manager to align maintenance delivery with the wider resident experience strategy
