Planned Maintenance Manager
Excel Exteriors Ltd is looking for an experienced Planned Maintenance Manager to join our growing team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a capable and organised manager with experience in planned maintenance, small works and multi trade construction works.
The role will be based around our existing framework contracts, where Excel Exteriors is predominantly delivering roofing works through our roofing team. Alongside these contracts, we are often asked to price, manage and complete a wide range of associated planned maintenance and small works packages.
These works may include concrete repairs, brickwork, shed doors, decorating, disabled ramps, lintel works, small groundworks and other general maintenance items.
About Excel Exteriors Ltd
Excel Exteriors Ltd is part of the Excel group of companies and provides specialist roofing, external refurbishment, planned works and maintenance services across London, the M25 and the surrounding Home Counties.
We work with main contractors, housing providers, local authorities and commercial clients, delivering high quality works across occupied and live environments.

The Role
As Planned Maintenance Manager, you will be responsible for managing planned maintenance and small works across our existing framework contracts, from initial enquiry through to completion.
The roofing works will generally already be managed by our roofing team. This role will work alongside our existing management team to support and manage the associated multi trade works that arise from those contracts.
The successful candidate will need to be comfortable attending sites, identifying what is required, preparing costs or estimates, arranging labour and subcontractors, coordinating materials, communicating with clients and ensuring works are completed safely and to a high standard.
This role requires someone who is organised, commercially aware, practical and confident communicating both in person and by email.
This is a varied role and no two days will be the same. One moment you may be at your laptop emailing clients, preparing costs and updating job records, and the next you may be on site helping to resolve a practical issue or supporting the team to keep works moving.
Key Responsibilities
Managing planned maintenance and small works across existing framework contracts
Working alongside the existing management team to coordinate and deliver associated small works packages
Attending sites to review works, assess requirements and plan delivery
Preparing costs, estimates and job information where required
Coordinating multi trade works including concrete repairs, brickwork, decorating, disabled ramps, lintel works, small groundworks and general maintenance tasks

The Candidate
We are looking for someone who is practical, reliable and commercially aware, with good construction knowledge and strong organisational skills.
The ideal candidate will have experience in planned maintenance, small works, external refurbishment or general building works. You do not need to be a roofing specialist, as our roofing contracts are already managed by the roofing team. However, you must understand how to assess small works, prepare basic costs, organise labour and subcontractors and communicate clearly with clients.
The successful candidate must be adaptable, reliable and willing to muck in where required, while still maintaining a professional approach with clients, residents, site teams and internal management.
You should be able to work under pressure, solve problems quickly and keep multiple jobs moving at the same time, while working positively alongside our existing management team.
