Maintenance Assistant - London

Lamington Serviced Apartments (LSA) is part of Lamington Group. We design and operate hometels, combining practicality with feeling. We recognise the importance of being properly looked after, paying attention to what guests actually need.

We are looking for people who care about their work and the people around them.

THE ROLE

You are the Assistant Maintenance Manager at LSA. You anchor the physical presentation, asset functionality, and safety standards of our entire building and facilities. This role involves taking ownership of the property, managing reactive repairs, and ensuring that every maintenance task is completed with consistent care.

Your work has a direct impact on how people live, sleep, and experience our spaces. You drive the daily and weekly rhythm of the department, from optimising team tasks and executing planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedules to maintaining strict health, safety, and building compliance controls.

Your day is active, physical, and team-focused. You handle operational planning, compliance logs, and parts inventory while supporting your maintenance technicians, auditing completed repair work, tracking contractor deliveries, and keeping communication flowing between the maintenance team, front of house, and housekeeping.

This role gives back the satisfaction of running a complex engineering and asset machine that works. You will strengthen your practical leadership, asset lifecycle management, and cost-control logistics within a team that relies on trust.

WHO YOU ARE

We hire based on five values:

• Use Instinct: You read what's needed and act on it.
• Own It: You finish what you start and are honest about what works and what doesn't.
• Include All: You build trust quickly with guests, colleagues, and partners.
• Stay Curious: You ask why and keep learning.
• Think Big: You reject 'good enough' and bring better ideas.

We don't hire for years of hotel experience; we can teach the systems.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

On a good day, you might:

• Start the day reviewing the overnight maintenance log and guest maintenance requests.
• Lead from the floor, maintaining an active presence alongside your team during complex repairs.
• Ensure high standards across the building by personally auditing completed repair work.
• Support and develop your maintenance team throughout the week.
• Keep communication flowing seamlessly across the property.
• Notice and act on departmental performance quickly.
• Stay one step ahead, analysing stock inventory levels for critical spare parts.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

Experience that fits the role:

• Proven facilities maintenance management or supervisory experience.
• Confidence in managing department logistics and costs.
• A reliable, methodical approach with a sharp eye for details.
• Strong communication and leadership skills.
• A proactive mindset, taking full ownership of the physical property.
• Extensive experience managing building health and safety compliance.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE WORKING HERE

What you get back:

• A team that understands the importance of a fully functional building.
• Growth opportunities within the company.
• Structured onboarding and hands-on training.
• Additional annual leave that grows with length of service.
• Access to friends-and-family rates across our hometels.
• Competitive benefits package including pension contributions and wellbeing initiatives.
