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:

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

Role requirements:

• A recognised trade background with strong all-round practical skills
• Running a structured PPM programme across all sites - identifying defects promptly and keeping the estate in excellent condition with minimal downtime
• 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
• Sourcing materials and supplies for planned and reactive works - researching products, obtaining quotes where required, and ensuring timely availability within budget
• 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
• Managing and prioritising your own task list independently across multiple sites, balancing planned and reactive works
• Recognising when a job is more complex or specialist, liaising with external contractors, overseeing their works on site and signing off completed jobs
• Managing and supporting the Maintenance Technician - overseeing their rota, allocating and prioritising tasks, and providing guidance to ensure consistent standards
• Recording everything and managing the full admin side - logging, tracking, approvals and records - through Access Maintain, Microsoft Teams and Notion
• Working within delegated maintenance budgets and taking ownership of tools and equipment across the estate
• Championing a repair-first approach - extending the life of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and identifying opportunities to reduce energy consumption and waste

Ideal candidate:

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

What we offer:

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