Project Maintenance Manager
Here at Peacocks, we have a fantastic opportunity for a Project Maintenance Manager to join our team and play a key role in supporting the successful delivery and maintenance of our property portfolio.
This role will include travel to our various store locations, where no two days are the same. You will have a personable nature and be a strong team player to ensure the effective and comprehensive management of our portfolio, by working closely with a variety of internal and external stakeholders, including Directors, Heads of Departments, and Regional Managers, as well as contractors and building inspectors.
While a trade background is a plus, it's not vital. We truly value an individual with logical thinking, adaptability, and a keen ability to learn, but your ideas and creativity will help shape the future of our property team.
Key Responsibilities
- Efficiently manage day-to-day maintenance for all company-owned or leased properties.
- Review and monitor invoices and quotes, addressing any discrepancies and collaborating with contractors to maintain budgetary compliance.
- Travel to priority sites, perform surveys following planned and reactive maintenance work, and generate insightful reports to guide our actions.
- Identify defects and develop technical specifications from work schedules, adhering to all relevant Health and Safety and relevant regulations.
- Source and select the best contractors for major and minor maintenance projects, conducting competitive tendering exercises as needed.
- Support the maintenance department with repair requests, prioritizing and issuing work orders to contractors while coordinating with the Maintenance Support Help Desk as necessary.
- Supervise all reactive and planned works, ensuring the highest standards of workmanship are consistently maintained.
- Collaborate with external consultants, such as Environmental Health Officers and Building Inspectors.
- Share on-call responsibilities with the lead property manager for escalations outside of normal office hours; this isn’t very common, ensuring prompt and efficient response to urgent maintenance situations.
- Tackle any other ad hoc duties as required, demonstrating your flexibility and dedication to the team's success.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
