Maintenance Manager in Bournemouth

About THE NICI Collection

THE NICI Collection is a luxury lifestyle hotel group bringing a distinctive sense of style, personality and exceptional hospitality to every guest experience.

Our flagship hotel, THE NICI Bournemouth, takes inspiration from the glamour of Miami’s South Beach. Our collection has since expanded to THE NICI Newquay, inspired by the Amalfi Coast, and THE NICI New Forest, inspired by the Hamptons.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for a proactive and hands-on Maintenance Manager to support our hotels and ensure our properties are maintained to the highest standards.

The Role

As Maintenance Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day maintenance and upkeep of our Bournemouth property, ensuring everything runs safely, efficiently and smoothly behind the scenes.

You will take ownership of preventative maintenance, coordinate repairs, manage contractors and support the wider hotel teams to ensure our facilities remain in excellent condition for both guests and colleagues.

This is a varied, hands-on role suited to someone who takes pride in their work, has a keen eye for detail and understands the importance of maintaining a luxury hotel environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee day-to-day maintenance across the hotel properties.

• Develop and deliver preventative maintenance programmes to minimise disruption and avoid unnecessary repairs.

• Respond promptly to maintenance issues, prioritising guest safety and the overall guest experience.

• Monitor plant, equipment and building systems, ensuring servicing and statutory inspections are completed on time.

• Maintain accurate maintenance records, compliance documentation and service schedules.

• Support health and safety, fire safety and other statutory compliance requirements.

• Manage maintenance supplies, equipment and costs effectively.

• Work closely with General Managers, department heads and operational teams to identify and resolve issues.

• Support refurbishment projects, room upgrades and wider property improvement works.

About You

We are looking for someone who is practical, organised and confident taking ownership of maintenance across a busy hotel environment.

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience in a maintenance management or supervisory role, preferably within hotels, hospitality or a similar environment.

• A strong practical understanding of general building maintenance, repairs and building services.

• Good knowledge of health and safety and statutory compliance requirements.

• The ability to organise contractors, prioritise workloads and manage multiple requests.

• A proactive approach to problem-solving, with excellent attention to detail.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with hotel teams.

• Flexibility to travel between our properties as required.

Relevant technical qualifications and experience managing preventative maintenance systems would be an advantage.

Why Join THE NICI Collection?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing luxury hotel group where your work will make a genuine difference to our properties, our teams and our guests.

You will have the opportunity to take ownership of maintenance standards across our collection, contribute ideas and help us continually improve the places our guests love to stay.
