At Chestnut, we celebrate everything that makes East Anglia special – its people, produce, and personality. Our collection of inns, pubs and restaurants are each unique, shaped by their surroundings and communities, and brought together by our shared love for genuine hospitality.

We’re looking for a hands-on, skilled and proactive Property Maintenance Operative to help keep our collection running smoothly. You’ll be the friendly face who fixes, maintains and improves our beautiful properties — making sure every guest experience reflects Chestnut’s high standards.

What you’ll be doing

Carry out general maintenance and repair work across multiple Chestnut sites.
Plan and complete maintenance tasks efficiently, with minimal disruption to operations.
Work closely with General Managers and the central Maintenance Team to prioritise work.
Keep accurate records of jobs completed.
Ensure all work complies with health and safety requirements and Chestnut brand standards.
Communicate clearly and professionally with colleagues, including via our maintenance WhatsApp groups.
Be an ambassador for Chestnut’s values — be genuine, be team-focused, and have fun.

What we’re looking for

Experience in property maintenance, ideally in hospitality or a multi-site environment.
A relevant trade or maintenance qualification (plumbing, electrical, carpentry, or similar).
A problem-solver with initiative, reliability and attention to detail.
Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel across our East Anglia sites.
Someone friendly, approachable, and proud of what they do.

What’s in it for you

We believe great people deserve great rewards. When you join Chestnut, you’ll enjoy:

Competitive pay, with regular reviews.
Mileage allowance for travel between sites.
Company discounts – up to 50% off food, drink and stays across all Chestnut inns and pubs.
Access to our team wellbeing hub, including free support, advice and counselling.
Career development and training to help you grow your skills.
A supportive, family-feel culture where your ideas and individuality are valued.
Team celebrations and events throughout the year.
And of course – the chance to work with a genuinely passionate, fun, and caring team.
