About the role

We are looking for a highly qualified, proactive and reliable Maintenance Manager to oversee the comprehensive maintenance and technical management of a private villa in Badalona, Barcelona. This is a hands-on role that requires extensive technical knowledge, exceptional attention to detail and the ability to resolve issues quickly and discreetly, before they can affect the home experience.

The ideal candidate takes full responsibility for the condition of the property, manages external suppliers with confidence and ensures that all systems, spaces and surfaces are always kept in perfect working order.

What you'll do

  • Carry out daily maintenance, repairs and improvements throughout the villa — plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, painting and general maintenance tasks — always to the highest quality standards.
  • Develop and manage a preventive maintenance plan for all systems — HVAC, pool, irrigation, electrical installations, security and home automation — ensuring zero interruptions to the home's operation.
  • Source, coordinate and supervise external suppliers and specialised services — ensuring quality control, punctuality and discretion at all times.
  • Oversee outdoor areas, including gardens, terraces, pool and outdoor structures — coordinating landscaping and seasonal maintenance to maintain an impeccable presentation throughout the year.
  • Proactively identify and resolve potential issues before they escalate — a resourceful person who anticipates, acts and reports without needing constant supervision.
  • Manage the inventory of supplies, tools and maintenance equipment — controlling costs, tracking warranties and keeping detailed records of all work carried out.

What you'll get

  • Exclusive environment: work in one of the most prestigious private residences in Barcelona.
  • High-level exposure: be part of an elite private household within the international luxury circuit.
  • Competitive package: compensation in line with the exceptional level of this role.

How you'll work

This is a freelance / on-call position. The role is activated during the owners' stays at the property and may vary in frequency and duration throughout the year. Candidates must be available to commit to confirmed dates and deliver the same level of excellence in every service, regardless of its duration.
