Marina and Facilities Manager in Beaconsfield

As a privately owned, multi-award-winning commercial property investor, Sorbon Estates is dedicated to delivering a lasting, positive impact in the communities in which we invest. With an established track record of enhancing both properties and their surrounding environments, we take pride in our diverse, continually evolving portfolio. Willowtree Marina is a well-established inland marina offering residential, pied‑à‑terre, leisure and short‑stay moorings in a well‑connected canal‑side setting.

This is a hands‑on role leading the day‑to‑day operation of Willowtree Marina, combining facilities management, property maintenance, marina operations, health and safety compliance, contractor coordination and customer service.

• Maintain marina facilities, including toilets, showers, laundry and communal areas, to a high standard.
• Oversee diesel dispensing, pump‑out facilities and utility services, ensuring accurate records are maintained.
• Ensure all marina facilities, communal areas, grounds and pontoons are maintained to a consistently high standard of presentation.
• Manage stock levels and order operational supplies and consumables.

About you:

• Proven experience in facilities management, estate management, operations management or marina management.
• Strong practical maintenance skills, with the ability to undertake basic repairs and fault‑finding.
• Experience of managing contractors and coordinating maintenance programmes.
• A sound understanding of health and safety legislation, compliance requirements and risk management.
