About Us
Get Set Swim is one of London's fastest-growing premium swim schools, operating purpose-built teaching pools across multiple locations.
We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional swimming lessons in safe, clean, and well-maintained environments. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a proactive and hands-on Facilities & Pool Plant Manager to oversee the maintenance, compliance, and operation of our swimming pool facilities across all sites.
This is a highly autonomous role suited to someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems, and ensuring facilities are operating to the highest possible standards.
The Role
As Facilities & Pool Plant Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of pool plant operations, maintenance, compliance, contractor management, and health & safety across our four London clubs.
You'll work independently, managing your own workload and priorities, while acting as the key point of contact for all facilities-related matters from the General Managers.
No two days are the same. One day you may be conducting pool plant checks and water testing, the next you may be coordinating contractors, troubleshooting maintenance issues, or carrying out compliance inspections.

- Support Club Managers in maintaining safe and compliant environments.
Contractor Management
- Manage external contractors and service providers.
- Schedule servicing and maintenance visits.
