About this role
Grounds Maintenance Supervisor - Midlands
Region: Midlands
Reports to: Regional Manager
Supervises : Team Leaders and
operatives on the crews of one patch
Hours: 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday
Salary: £32,000 - £35.000
Purpose of the role. Make sure every crew on your patch
starts the day right, does the work to standard and finishes safely — and that
the record proves it. You are on the tools for part of the week; the rest is
protected time for checking, briefing and sorting problems.
What you are accountable for.
1. The morning crew check — every
crew, every day.
2. Site quality checks to the agreed number every week, with
scores.
3. The conversation when something goes wrong, logged: who, about what,
on what date.
4. Escalating the same day what you cannot fix on site.
5. Visits
delivered in window and job times in on time.
6. Safety: RAMS before start,
daily van and HAVS checks, PPE, and a safety briefing every week.
What you are not accountable for. The round plan, pricing and quotes,
complaints after the day on site. Each has a named owner. If a client asks for
more, you pass it on the same day.
Decision rights. You decide the day's tasking, the
on-site method within the RAMS, and stopping work or taking a vehicle or
machine out of use. You recommend round changes, equipment and training. You
escalate injuries, near misses, damage, a site that differs from the RAMS, and
anything that puts a visit at risk.
How you are measured. A weekly scorecard of nine measures:
morning check; quality checks; quality score; conversations logged; same-day
escalations; visits in window; job times by cut-off; daily vehicle checks;
weekly safety briefing.
