Who we are

MCR Property Group is a national real estate investment and development company with offices in Manchester, London, Birmingham and Glasgow. Our portfolio spans residential, commercial, industrial and student living sectors, and we are actively delivering high-profile schemes across the UK. With a strong in-house marketing and design function, we deliver all brand, digital marketing and campaign activity centrally from our Manchester headquarters.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for an experienced Facilities Maintenance Manager to join our team covering the Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire regions, being part of the management of a residential and PRS portfolio. In this role, you will oversee a team of maintenance operatives and cleaners, ensuring the smooth, safe and efficient running of all our facilities. You will take responsibility for planning and delivering maintenance schedules, conducting regular inspections, and responding promptly to any issues that arise. Where work cannot be completed in-house, you will liaise with external contractors to arrange repairs and ensure all activities meet our expected standards.

A key part of the role involves ensuring full compliance with health and safety regulations while managing budgets for both maintenance and cleaning operations. You will also be expected to identify opportunities for cost savings, maintain accurate records of all work carried out, and support the wider team with any additional facilities-related tasks.

Your experience

To be successful, you will bring previous experience in a facilities maintenance management role along with proven experience leading a team. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential, as is the ability to organise and prioritise workloads effectively. You should have a solid understanding of health and safety requirements, experience managing budgets, and the confidence to work well under pressure. A valid driver’s licence is required, along with a flexible approach, as occasional work outside normal business hours may be necessary.
