Ashleigh Group is establishing a dedicated Maintenance & Fast Works Division and is seeking an ambitious, commercially minded leader to take ownership of its growth and development. This is a unique opportunity to build and lead a standalone business unit within an established and successful group. With full backing, investment and autonomy, you'll be responsible for developing the division, growing recurring revenue, building high-performing teams and driving profitability.
We're not looking for someone to simply manage a maintenance operation. We're looking for someone who wants to build one.
The Role
- Initially, you'll focus on understanding and enhancing our existing blue-chip maintenance contracts, identifying opportunities to improve service delivery, profitability and operational performance.
- Working closely with the senior leadership team, you'll develop and implement a growth strategy for the division, helping to shape new service offerings, win additional work, recruit and develop teams, and build the systems and infrastructure required to support long-term growth.
The role offers genuine autonomy and the opportunity to create a business within a business, with full support and investment from Ashleigh Group.
About You
- You'll likely have experience leading maintenance, facilities management, engineering, construction or service-based operations.
- More importantly, you'll be commercially minded, results-driven and comfortable taking ownership.
- You'll enjoy solving problems, building teams, developing client relationships and identifying opportunities for growth.
- We're looking for someone with a strong work ethic who is prepared to roll their sleeves up, challenge existing thinking and lead from the front.
- Someone who sees opportunity where others see obstacles and is excited by the challenge of building something significant.
- Previous signage experience would be advantageous but is not essential.
What's on Offer?
- Competitive basic salary
- Profit share scheme (target equivalent of 30% of salary)
- Car allowance
- Family private medical insurance
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
Why Join Ashleigh?
