Maintenance Manager London, England
Job description
Be you. At work.
Here at Locke, we create spaces where you can be you – and we don’t just mean our design-led aparthotels. From front desk to back office, on-the-ground to behind-the-scenes, our team makes Locke what it is. Forget demographics: we’re building a community of the culturally curious. The forward-thinking. The ever-questioning.
Locke is growing. With new openings across the UK and Europe coming up, we’re at an exciting time in our young life. Want to get stuck in? Roll up your sleeves and let’s go.

You’ll make Locke at Broken Wharf feel like home by keeping our building and apartments looking fresh, so our guests feel comfortable, relaxed and cared-for. Reporting to the Head of Facilities, with a dotted line to the General Manager, you’ll oversee services, repairs, painting, and upkeep of apartments to standards worth writing home about.

What you'll need.
- Human-led leadership skills and experience managing a team
- Ideally plumbing, gas and electrical trade qualifications
- Ideally experience of launching a new building
- Intuitive customer service
- Natural influencing skills with a knack for managing expectations
- Brain built for problem solving
- Reliable decision-making and the confidence to act quickly, taking smart risks based on insight
Values you’ll share;
- Courage to question, evolve and be human
- Curiosity to seek out innovation, change and creativity
- Confidence to challenge convention and look for better ways to do and be
- Accountability and the desire to empower those around you
- Freedom to be yourself at work, just as much as at play
- Acceptance that perfection doesn’t exist and no one has a monopoly on good ideas
- Recognition of humanity in yourself and others to learn fast, evolve and grow
In return we offer you a bonus scheme, holidays (including the option to buy more if you want them), wellbeing benefits (Cash Plan and an Employee Assistance Programme), free nights in our properties, excellent travel and development opportunities, awesome recognition schemes, pension (the tax efficient way), company sick pay and further benefits tailored to your individual needs.
When and Where?
We believe in working flexibly – this includes flexibility in work location, working days (including weekends and bank holidays in operations) and working hours. This may be ad hoc or permanent flexibility. Ask your recruiting manager or see our careers page for more information.
