Maintenance Manager

Job Description:

DHP Family operates several well known live venues - including Rock City - and bars in Nottingham. These are heavily used properties that operate year-round and require consistently high standards of maintenance, safety and compliance.

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 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 to ensure uninterrupted operations

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

This role would be an excellent opportunity for an established Maintenance Foreman or Supervisor with multi-venue management experience looking for a fresh challenge or to take the next step in their career.
