Requirements
We are looking for an organised and technically capable Maintenance Manager who understands the demands of operating a busy commercial property.
You will ideally have:

• Previous maintenance management experience within a hotel, hospitality or similarly complex commercial environment
• Experience leading and developing a maintenance team
• Strong knowledge of health and safety, fire life safety and statutory compliance
• A sound understanding of electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilation systems
