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.
- The morning crew check — every crew, every day.
- Site quality checks to the agreed number every week, with scores.
- The conversation when something goes wrong, logged: who, about what, on what date.
- Escalating the same day what you cannot fix on site.
- Visits delivered in window and job times in on time.
- 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 escape 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.
