About Us

Hello, we are Red Engine, the team behind the award-winning global brand Flight Club. We're obsessed with disrupting the hospitality industry by creating and delivering the best possible experience across all venues, products and brands.

Our central team covers the full spectrum of skills needed to bring each concept to life, from design to marketing, sales to interior design, people and training, to finance, gaming and HR and everything in between. We’re not just a team of people, we are dreamers, artists, rocket scientists, content curators, forward thinkers and the industry’s finest. We love what we do and are proud to be included in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work for 3 years running.

With a total of 21 incredible venues throughout the UK, we have ambitious plans and are passionate about developing new and exciting products, which means we’re always growing and looking for passionate people to join the family.

What You’ll Do

As our Venue Maintenance Engineer, you’ll play an important role in keeping our venues safe, looking great and working as they should for both our guests and teams.

Working closely with our Venue Management teams, you’ll take care of day-to-day repairs, planned maintenance and those unexpected jobs that inevitably crop up. From fixing a leaking tap or replacing tiles to painting, basic carpentry and maintaining larger equipment, you’ll be someone who enjoys getting stuck in, finding practical solutions and taking pride in doing a job properly.

You’ll regularly check both guest and team areas, identify anything that needs attention and either put it right or make sure it’s escalated to the right person. You’ll manage your own workload across the venues within your region and may also get involved in larger maintenance projects across the business.

• Identify and promptly elevate repairs or maintenance issues that require specialist support to the Venue Management team.
• Support wider maintenance projects and venue works as required.
• Ensure equipment and supplies are moved and stored safely.

Safety & Ways of Working

• Carry out all work safely and in line with Red Engine’s Health & Safety policies and procedures.
• Manage your allocated workload effectively and complete maintenance jobs within agreed timescales.
• Keep maintenance jobs and progress up to date using Teams and our Expansive maintenance portal.
• Work flexibly across the venues within your region, with occasional travel outside of this area where required.

To Be Successful In This Role, You’ll

• Have basic electrical knowledge and experience working safely around electrical equipment.
• Have a good understanding of Health & Safety procedures and safe working practices.
• Be practical and solutions-focused, with the confidence to diagnose problems and find the best way to put them right.
