Job Description

Maintenance Manager

The following information provides an overview of the skills, qualities, and qualifications needed for this role.

£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:

• 
  
• Delivering both planned (PPM) and reactive maintenance across our sites yourself, to a consistently high standard

Coordinating external contractors on the more complex or specialist jobs, then overseeing and signing off their work

Managing and supporting our Maintenance Technician day-to-day, allocating tasks across the estate

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
