DHP Family is one of the UK’s most exciting and creative entertainment companies. We have been operating venues and organising concerts for over 40 years and have grown to become a leading name in the live music industry, with a deserved reputation for our innovative and creative approach to music production and promotion.

Job Purpose
DHP Family operates several well known live venues – including Rock City – and bars in Nottingham. These are heavily used properties that operate year-round and require consistently high standards of maintenance, safety and compliance.
This is a hands-on, site-based role combining practical maintenance work with team leadership and contractor management. You will oversee a small in-house maintenance team while coordinating a panel of subcontractors, ensuring all properties are safe, compliant, well maintained and operationally ready at all times.
A significant proportion of the role is focused on day-to-day reactive and pre planned venue requirements and maintenance, which must be effectively prioritised and to ensure uninterrupted operations
This role will suit a well-organised self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, reactive environment with competing priorities.
This role would be an excellent opportunity for an established Maintenance Foreman or Supervisor with multi-venue management experience looking for a fresh challenge or to take the next step in their career.
