We also offer a bonus scheme based on achievement of internal audits. In short, if you are amazing, we will reward you for your hard work.

Some of the background

We’re not your average holiday company. Our guests come to our UK resorts to experience a world away from their day-to-day.

We need you to be the person who delivers delight to our guests by ensuring that everything in their accommodation, and across the park, looks great and works properly. Our park is well invested in, has adequate budget to keep it looking tip top and we are looking to continue to invest and grow to become even better. You will be part of the family to assist with this growth.

What you will be doing

As part of our team of holiday heroes, you will manage the Maintenance team to ensure everything is in good working order. Your work will include:

  • Monitoring that the Landscaping is to our high standards
  • Ensuring that the Moving and siting Caravans, including external Plumbing are planned and completed
  • Allocating maintenance jobs for our accommodation; everything from replacing light bulbs to troubleshooting faulty locks and cutting keys
  • Carrying out maintenance checks and repairs on changeover days, working with other tradespeople when necessary
  • Managing water and sewerage infrastructure
  • Genuine drive to see the jobs through to completion
  • Pretty much anything else that other people can’t do!

Guests and staff will look to you to fix what’s broken and restore order, so you will need to be confident, friendly and obliging in addition to your practical skills.

You will have a team of Managers responsible for the 3 main areas under your responsibility and adequate team to help ensure all the above are achieved.

One more thing…holidays happen at holiday times, so you’ll need to work your magic on bank holidays, and some weekends too. We do however pay overtime on the occasion were this is required.

We will train you, but you’ll need to have the following skills and experience to apply for this role:

  • Experience of managing a team of trades and workers
  • Experience in property maintenance, light construction and facilities management
  • An understanding of Health & Safety at work
  • A good standard of education, ideally to GCSE standard or equivalent
  • Driving licence is essential.

It’s about your values too. We have a can-do, fun loving, people centred ethos here at Away Resorts, which is captured by our holiday heroes’ mantra of Attentive Amazing Lovers – if that’s fired up your curiosity, have a read about it here and decide if it describes you.
