Type: Permanent role
Hours: Full time, some evening and weekend availability required due to nature of venues

Linsco Recruitment are delighted to be supporting our client, a hugely successful property and venue management company responsible for a diverse portfolio of busy, heavily used properties across the Nottinghamshire area. These include licensed, public-facing venues and commercial spaces that operate year-round and require consistently high standards of maintenance, safety and compliance.

Due to continued growth and the need to maintain operational excellence across their estate, they are now looking to appoint an experienced Maintenance Foreman to strengthen their in-house maintenance leadership team.

The Role

This is a hands-on, site-based role combining practical maintenance work with team leadership and contractor management. You will oversee a small in-house maintenance team while coordinating a panel of specialist subcontractors, ensuring all properties are safe, compliant, well maintained and operationally ready at all times.

A significant proportion of the role is focused on day-to-day reactive and pre-planned venue requirements and maintenance, which must be effectively prioritised and delegated to ensure uninterrupted operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, manage and motivate a small in-house maintenance team, setting and maintaining high standards of workmanship
• Provide on-the-job coaching, skills development and support external compliance training
• Plan, arrange and supervise subcontractor works (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire & alarms, etc.), ensuring quality, compliance and value for money
• Prioritise and manage reactive maintenance across multiple properties
• Plan and oversee a programme of proactive and planned maintenance
• Ensure all buildings meet required house standards in both public and back-of-house areas
• Maintain accurate maintenance records, compliance documentation and asset registers
• Manage statutory inspections (fire, gas, electrical, HVAC, lifts, etc.) and ensure remedial works are completed efficiently
• Work closely with on-site managers to identify, prioritise and communicate maintenance needs
• Manage maintenance budgets and control costs without compromising safety or quality

Candidate Profile

This role will suit a well-organised self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, reactive environment with competing priorities.

Essential Experience & Skills

• Proven background in building maintenance with strong hands-on trade skills (e.g. joinery, plumbing, general building works)
• Good working knowledge of electrical systems and HVAC
• Demonstrable experience leading small teams and managing subcontractors
• Strong understanding of health & safety, fire safety and compliance within licensed or public buildings
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
• Ability to balance planned and reactive maintenance effectively
• Full, clean UK driving licence

Desirable

• Relevant qualifications such as CSCS, IOSH Managing Safely, SMSTS, First Aid or NVQ in a building trade
• Experience within hospitality, live venues or multi-site environments
• Familiarity with asset management or maintenance tracking systems
