Are you the kind of person who spots a problem and fixes it before anyone else notices? Do you enjoy variety in your day and take pride in keeping everything running smoothly? We're looking for a hands-on Maintenance Manager to help keep The Dukes Head Hotel, part of Surya Hotels, looking its best and operating seamlessly. From guest bedrooms and public areas to essential compliance checks and site maintenance, you'll play a key role in ensuring our historic hotel continues to deliver exceptional experiences for every guest.
This is not a desk-based role. You'll be out and about, rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck in. A loose door handle? Sorted. A wall needing a fresh touch of paint? You're already reaching for the paintbrush. Lighting issue? You're on it. Boiler concern? You're investigating before anyone has time to worry - no two days will be the same!
What you'll be responsible for as our Maintenance Manager:
