Are you a hands-on maintenance leader who knows how to get things done? Z Hotels is looking for an experienced and proactive Area Maintenance Manager to help drive maintenance standards across our London hotels. You'll lead and support our maintenance teams, ensure our buildings and equipment are safe and well maintained, and work closely with Hotel Managers and the Group Chief Engineer to continually improve standards.

We're looking for someone with strong technical knowledge, great organisation and genuine leadership skills. Someone who takes ownership, plans ahead and, most importantly, gets things moving. If you're a hands-on leader who enjoys solving problems, developing people and making a visible difference, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

• Leading, supporting and developing maintenance team members
• Maintaining high standards across guest rooms, public areas, back-of-house spaces and building systems
• Carrying out regular property inspections, identifying priorities and ensuring actions are followed through
• Taking a proactive approach to planned and preventative maintenance
• Understanding of mechanical and electrical systems, including HVAC, BMS, boilers and life-safety systems
• Working closely with Hotel Managers to understand operational priorities and plan maintenance activity effectively
• Coordinating contractors, servicing, repairs and maintenance projects
• Maintaining strong Health & Safety and compliance standards, including inspections, risk assessments and maintenance records
• Managing maintenance supplies, parts and inventory effectively
• Responding calmly and effectively to urgent or emergency maintenance situations

What we're looking for

• Has at least 3 years' experience managing maintenance teams and properties, within a multi-site hotel, hospitality or facilities environment
• Has strong working knowledge of mechanical, electrical, HVAC and general building maintenance
• Has experience leading and developing people, setting standards and driving performance
• Understands Health & Safety, compliance and planned preventative maintenance
• Is organised, hands-on and confident managing multiple priorities, contractors and maintenance projects
• Is a strong communicator who takes ownership, solves problems and drives improvements through to completion

The person we're looking for

You'll be someone who takes pride in the standard of your properties and leads from the front. You'll be comfortable identifying where things could be better, setting clear expectations and making sure actions are followed through. Most importantly, you'll bring energy, accountability and a proactive mindset. We're looking for someone who won't simply react to issues as they arise, but will look ahead, identify opportunities to improve and help us continually raise our maintenance standards.

Why join Z Hotels?

This is an opportunity to take on a role where you can make a real and visible difference. You'll work closely with our hotel teams and wider business, with the opportunity to influence how maintenance is delivered and play an important part in keeping our properties safe, reliable and looking their best for our guests and teams.
