We have an exciting opportunity for a Maintenance Manager to lead the delivery of maintenance services across the Wembley National Stadium contract at NG Bailey.

This is a high-profile, hands‑on leadership role. You’ll guide multi‑disciplinated engineering and maintenance teams, act as a trusted advisor to the client and make sure contractual obligations and expectations are consistently met.

- Owning statutory compliance, from inspections, certifications and remedial works to permits, risk assessments and safe systems of work, and supporting internal and external audits.
- Driving operational readiness for event and non‑event activity across the Stadium estate, and developing maintenance plans that maximise asset reliability and resilience.
- Leading, coaching and developing your teams through one‑to‑ones, performance reviews and talent and succession planning.
- Building strong relationships with client stakeholders, representing NG Bailey at review meetings and providing clear performance reporting and advice on asset performance and risk.
- Managing specialist subcontractors, reviewing quotations for value for money and identifying efficiency and cost‑saving opportunities.
- Using MRI and other maintenance management systems to analyse performance data, support condition surveys and lifecycle planning, and spot trends and opportunities for improvement.
What we’re looking for
- Managing maintenance operations within a large, complex or critical environment
- Building services, planned maintenance and statutory compliance requirements
- Leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams and managing specialist subcontractors
- Managing client and stakeholder relationships with confidence

- It would be a bonus to hold IOSH Managing Safely, NEBOSH General Certificate, IWFM, AP/CP or project management qualifications, or membership of a professional body such as IET, CIBSE or IWFM
