Maintenance Operative (Compliance Assistant)
£14.00 per hour + share of hotel tips
Permanent | Full-time | Bedruthan & Scarlet Hotels | Facilities Management Development Opportunity
Keep something special running beautifully.
Behind every great stay is a huge amount of work guests never see.
From our guest bedrooms and spa to plant rooms, leisure facilities, staff accommodation and grounds, our Property & Maintenance team keeps Bedruthan and Scarlet safe, comfortable and running beautifully.
We're looking for a practical, dependable and curious Maintenance Operative who enjoys solving problems and is ready to take the next step in their career.
Working alongside our Hotel Property Manager, you'll continue using your hands-on maintenance skills while gaining valuable experience in Facilities Management, compliance, planned maintenance and contractor management.
Why this role stands out
- Hands-on maintenance – keep our hotels, facilities and grounds working at their best
- Compliance – gain experience across fire, water, electrical, gas, lifts, pool and spa systems and more
- Planned maintenance – help prevent problems rather than simply react to them
- Contractor management – coordinate suppliers, planned works and permits
- Facilities Management – develop experience with work orders, assets, records and reporting
- Future-focused – support sustainability and improvements while building your career
What you'll be doing
You'll carry out inspections, reactive repairs and planned maintenance, raise and monitor work orders, support statutory compliance and coordinate contractors and suppliers. You'll also maintain accurate records and respond to maintenance requests from guests and colleagues with a helpful, professional approach.
What you'll bring
You'll have previous experience in maintenance, property, building services or a relevant trade, alongside good organisation, attention to detail and a practical approach to problem solving.
We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, notices the details, follows things through and genuinely wants to learn.
A full UK driving licence is desirable.
Where could this take you?
This role is an opportunity to broaden your experience beyond hands-on maintenance and develop the skills needed for a future in Facilities Management.
You'll learn alongside an experienced team and gain exposure to PPM, compliance, contractors, asset management and the wider operation of two unique hotels.
