Are you a technical, decisive Maintenance Manager who enjoys driving team success, adapting to new challenges, and bringing energy to the workplace?

You’ll operate as a senior leader alongside a counterpart manager who oversees scheduling and CRM operations - meaning your time and energy will be fully dedicated to high level contract management, client relationships, and leading site engineering teams.

What We Are Looking For

We are seeking a switched on, pragmatic, and collaborative leader with strong technical grounding:

Experience: Proven track record managing PPM and reactive maintenance contracts, preferably across rail, road tunnels, highway networks, telecommunications, or heavy commercial M&e environments.
Leadership Style: Energetic, adaptable ("not stuck in their ways"), and focused on collective team goals. Experience direct managing supervisors and multi discipline engineering teams is essential.

Why Apply?

Industry Leading Perks: Every employee is invited on an all-expenses paid annual company trip away, featuring a black tie awards evening to celebrate success.
Team Culture: Regular quarterly social events, a friendly working atmosphere, and a truly modern approach to business management.
Structured Onboarding: A tailored 30/60/90-day plan ensures a seamless handover and structured client introductions, giving you full, independent ownership of the maintenance division within your first quarter.
Modern Culture & Flexibility: A collaborative, grounded environment where great work is recognized. While the role is office based to maintain team cohesion, hybrid options can be discussed for candidate profiles that really tick the boxes.
Support & Development: Fully funded continuous training, company laptop, PPE, and clear career progression opportunities within a scaling contractor.

Key Maintenance Manager Responsibilities

Contract Ownership: Drive end to end delivery of Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) and reactive works across transport, rail, tunnel, and commercial accounts to hit agreed SLAs.
Team Leadership: Line manage 2 Field Supervisors and direct teams of approx 8 to 10 total engineers, running monthly reviews, driving performance, and supporting technical competency.
Client Relationship Management: Serve as the main point of contact for core clients, leading regular contract reviews, performance reporting, and identifying growth opportunities.
Commercial & Quality Control: Review engineer reports and certificates for accuracy (ensuring client issue within 3 working days), quote/convert remedial works, manage variations, and oversee timely invoicing.
Process Improvement: Introduce smarter, streamlined operational processes to boost efficiency across field delivery. #Technical2026
