- Experience: Proven track record managing PPM and reactive maintenance contracts, preferably across rail, road tunnels, highway networks, telecommunications, or heavy commercial M&e environments.

- 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.
