OUR HOTEL

The Met Hotel, Leeds is in the midst of a bold transformation. A
complete refurbishment is turning this iconic property into a vibrant lifestyle
hotel, right in the heart of Leeds city centre. Think elevated design, curated
experiences, and unforgettable stays.

While the contractors bring the vision to life, we’re laying the foundations
of a sharp, skilled team who’ll keep the hotel running like clockwork now,
during the refurb, and long after. We’re looking for a confident, hands-on
Maintenance Manager who thrives on organisation, precision and progress.
Someone who’s as comfortable leading a team as they are rolling up their
sleeves and getting stuck in.

If you thrive behind the scenes and take pride in creating spaces that
run effortlessly and look exceptional, this could be your moment. If you’re
ready to lead with purpose, fix with finesse, and play a key role in shaping a
hotel with real character — we want to hear from you.

You’re the steady hand behind the scenes. Whether it’s making sure rooms
are spotless and systems are running or coordinating with contractors on site,
you’re the go-to for keeping everything working, shining, and guest-ready even
in the middle of a transformation.

Reporting to our Operations Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in
ensuring the hotel delivers excellence at every level both front and back of
house.

What you’ll do:

• Take ownership of the entire
  hotel maintenance operation. Every system, every space, every screw
• Lead a small but mighty in-house
  team of two technicians with purpose, pace and pride
• Manage a proactive, preventative
  maintenance plan that keeps us ahead of the game and reduces reactive repairs
• Collaborate daily with
  contractors delivering the hotel’s refurbishment, aligning access, plans and timelines
• Work closely with housekeeping,
  front of house and other departments to support quick responses, smooth
  operations and great guest experiences
• Track and manage the maintenance
  budget with a sharp eye, negotiating smartly and making cost-effective choices
  that never compromise quality
• Ensure health, safety and
  compliance standards are met at all times, across all areas
• Regularly inspect guest rooms,
  public spaces and back-of-house areas to ensure standards are met and exceeded
• Stay on the pulse of new tools,
  systems and technology that can improve efficiency, safety and sustainability
• Encourage development and growth
  within your team, nurturing a culture of learning, reliability and excellence
• Keep calm under pressure, because
  problems will pop up, and when they do, you’re already halfway to the solution
