What you'll do:

  • Handle difficult conversations confidently when needed and provide clear guidance and support to the team.
  • Report into the Maintenance Manager and work closely with the wider maintenance team.

What you bring:

  • Around 2-3+ year's experience leading or supervising a maintenance team.
  • Comfortable balancing hands-on maintenance with people management responsibilities.
  • Experience working across multiple sites, ideally within a large hotel, property, workplace or similarly fast-paced environment.

  • Confident managing a team of Maintenance Technicians and supporting their development.
  • Comfortable dealing with performance issues and having difficult conversations when required.
  • Able to manage multiple maintenance requests and priorities across different locations.
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative, personable approach.
