Maintenance Manager

Maintenance Manager

£50 - 60k (subject to experience)

Location: London - site-based across our estate, 5 days a week, mon - fri

Reporting Line: Head of Facilities

We're looking for a hands-on Maintenance Manager to join the team. We currently operate 7 restaurants, with new openings planned in the future.

The role has three core parts:

\n
1. Delivering both planned (PPM) and reactive maintenance across our sites yourself, to a consistently high standard
\n
2. Coordinating external contractors on the more complex or specialist jobs, then overseeing and signing off their work
\n
3. Managing and supporting our Maintenance Technician day-to-day, allocating tasks across the estate
\n

This is a fully site-based role across our estate and office, with no set remote working days.

Role requirements:

\n
• A recognised trade background with strong all-round practical skills
\n
• Running a structured PPM programme across all sites - identifying defects promptly and keeping the estate in excellent condition with minimal downtime
\n
• Carrying out reactive maintenance across the estate - carpentry, tiling, plumbing and drainage, painting and decorating, proofing, furniture repairs, refrigeration, catering equipment and HVAC - safely and to a high standard of finish
\n
• Sourcing materials and supplies for planned and reactive works - researching products, obtaining quotes where required, and ensuring timely availability within budget
\n
• Managing statutory compliance across the estate - fire safety, electrical, gas, water and lifts - keeping certification up to date, inspections scheduled and remedial actions tracked through to completion
\n
• Managing and prioritising your own task list independently across multiple sites, balancing planned and reactive works
\n
• Recognising when a job is more complex or specialist, liaising with external contractors, overseeing their works on site and signing off completed jobs
\n
• Managing and supporting the Maintenance Technician - overseeing their rota, allocating and prioritising tasks, and providing guidance to ensure consistent standards
\n
• Recording everything and managing the full admin side - logging, tracking, approvals and records - through Access Maintain, Microsoft Teams and Notion
\n
• Working within delegated maintenance budgets and taking ownership of tools and equipment across the estate
\n
• Championing a repair-first approach - extending the life of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and identifying opportunities to reduce energy consumption and waste
\n

Ideal candidate:

\n
• Previous multi-site maintenance experience, ideally within hospitality, retail or leisure
\n
• Equally comfortable executing day-to-day maintenance to a high standard yourself and juggling third-party contractors on the more complex jobs
\n
• Comfortable managing compliance, certification and inspection schedules across multiple sites
\n
• Obsessive about detail and the quality of the finish
\n
• Naturally organised - plans ahead, sets priorities and keeps multiple sites moving
\n
• Strong at follow-up, accountability and over-communication, so nothing slips through the cracks
\n
• A confident communicator who builds strong relationships with restaurant managers, Ops, the Property Team and contractors
\n
• Calm under pressure, with a positive, can-do attitude
\n
• Thrives in highly active, fast-paced environments
\n
• Passionate about restaurants, food, culture and hospitality
\n

What we offer:

\n
• 50% discount across all MJMK restaurants
\n
• Up to £500 team referral bonus
\n
• Opportunity to grow within one of London's most ambitious hospitality groups
\n
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay after one year with us
\n
• Extra day's holiday every year you're with us, up to 5 extra days
\n
• Wide range of benefits from Hospitality Action
\n
• Company sick pay after one year of service
