WORK WITH US

DHP Family operates several well known live venues - including Rock City - and bars in Nottingham. These are heavily used properties that operate year-round and require consistently high standards of maintenance, safety and compliance.

This is a hands-on, site-based role combining practical maintenance work with team leadership and contractor management. You will oversee a small in-house maintenance team while coordinating a panel of subcontractors, ensuring all properties are safe, compliant, well maintained and operationally ready at all times.

A significant proportion of the role is focused on day-to-day reactive and pre planned venue requirements and maintenance, which must be effectively prioritised and to ensure uninterrupted operations

This role will suit a well-organised self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, reactive environment with competing priorities.

Good working knowledge of electrical systems and HVAC
Demonstrable experience leading small teams and managing subcontractors
Strong understanding of health & safety, fire safety and compliance within licensed or public buildings
Excellent organisational and communication skills

Full, clean UK driving licence

Desirable

Relevant qualifications such as CSCS, IOSH Managing Safely, SMSTS, First Aid or NVQ in a building trade
Experience within hospitality, live venues or multi-site environments
Familiarity with asset management or maintenance tracking systems
This role would be an excellent opportunity for an established Maintenance Foreman or Supervisor with multi-venue management experience looking for a fresh challenge or to take the next step in their career.
