Estates Supervisor

This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic individual with a construction / electrical / mechanical background to play a key role in the maintenance of the historic estate and associated facilities of one of the UK’s long-established schools.

Westminster School is one of the UK’s leading academic institutions and is the only ancient London school to occupy its original site. Situated close to Parliament and Westminster Abbey, together with the stimulating diversity of the South Bank and West End, the School has a special atmosphere.

You will join our Estates Team and be responsible for supervising the team to provide a reactive and planned approach to maintaining the large estate. With a hands-on approach to your work, your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting the Director of Estates in all aspects of running and maintaining the School’s estate and associated facilities
• Supervising the day-to-day maintenance of the estate and assisting with the completion of maintenance tasks
• Ensuring planned preventative maintenance is carried out as required
• Maintaining the Building Management System
• Monitoring contractor performance to ensure quality of work, compliance with Health and Safety and completion of works on time

A formal qualification in a recognised construction or electrical or mechanical trade is essential, as is attention to detail and accurate record keeping, to ensure compliance at all times.

Experience of working with critical building systems (fire alarms, BMS, access control, AHUs, HRUs, air con systems) is desirable. A Health and Safety qualification and membership to a technical body is also desirable.

If you feel you have the skills and experience to take on this important, demanding and rewarding role and are keen to develop your career in a facilities / estates environment we would be delighted to hear from you. 

The start date for this role is September 2020.

Please note - there will be some weekend working during term time and you will be expected to attend key school events.
