Holkham is a 25,000-acre rural estate on the North Norfolk coast, home to a Grade I listed Hall, a nationally renowned nature reserve, and a diverse portfolio spanning heritage buildings, farms, and residential and commercial property. Employing over 350 people, Holkham was named Best Large Employer for the Eastern Region in 2023, and its strong community spirit and positive culture set it apart as a place to build a career.
This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of property maintenance across an estate of real scale and character – from the Hall itself to 300 residential homes and 14 tenanted farms. You’ll lead a skilled in-house trades team, manage external contractors, and shape how reactive and planned maintenance is delivered across the whole property portfolio. It’s a role with genuine variety day to day, and the chance to make a lasting, visible impact on a truly unique heritage estate.
We are looking for a hands-on, practical leader with a strong background in building maintenance or construction, who knows how to get the best from people and contractors alike. You’ll be an organised planner, comfortable prioritising competing demands, confident using property management systems, and committed to high standards of safety and quality. Experience with listed buildings or conservation would be a bonus.
