Who we are

What we do

We put our Customers and Families First. They are the driving force behind everything we do. We drive forward improvements for them to ensure the service they receive, whether reactive repairs or a major project, is completed safely and on time. In order to achieve this, we have 4 core values: open, caring, agile and collaborative. These are at the heart of everything we do.

Location: CTC Lympstone, Devon

Salary: Competitive

Permanent, Full time

The Maintenance Manager is responsible for overseeing the delivery of reactive and programmed maintenance services, ensuring full compliance with statutory legislation, MoD requirements, and health, safety, and environmental standards. This role requires managing the performance of teams and supply partners to consistently achieve key performance indicators for both reactive and planned maintenance within the designated area of responsibility.

A significant aspect of the role includes ensuring all maintenance documentation is distributed promptly and accurately recorded against the appropriate assets within the CAFM system. The Maintenance Manager is also tasked with maintaining the Establishment Specific Task Schedule (ESTS) and the Forward Additional Services Plan (FASP) for assigned sites. Oversight and management of statutory compliance across these sites are critical, including the mitigation of risks associated with overdue statutory and mandatory tasks, in consultation with DIO and HoE representatives.

The role requires proactive identification of opportunities to support the MoD's Net Zero carbon reduction targets, initiating billable works to help achieve these goals. Additionally, the Maintenance Manager will serve as an on-call services manager as needed, ensuring consistent service delivery and operational readiness.

The ideal candidate will be familiar with the sites and assets within their area, possess emergency first aid and fire safety qualifications, and demonstrate experience working with Safe Systems of Work relevant to their discipline.
