Our Engineering team is now looking for a Maintenance Supervisor to lead our night shift team and ensure our iconic Knightsbridge store is maintained to the highest standards. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a department that keeps Harrods running smoothly behind the scenes.

About the Role

In this role you will be responsible for leading a team of in-house Fabric Engineers to deliver both planned and reactive maintenance across the Harrods estate.

• Coordinate with other trades and disciplines to ensure smooth operations across the estate.
• Supervise external contractors when required, maintaining compliance and safety standards.
• Manage procurement of operational materials and services to support maintenance activities.
• Deliver toolbox talks and facilitate upskilling sessions to maintain technical knowledge within the team.
• Attend operational meetings and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
• This is a hands‑on role requiring physical fitness, as some lifting and working at height will be involved.
