Role Overview

The Site Manager is responsible for the day-to-day physical upkeep, maintenance and practical support of Luna Hut's sauna sites, helping ensure they remain safe, well maintained and operating to a high standard.

This is a hands-on role involving practical maintenance, repairs, basic carpentry and site improvement work, alongside the planning and administration required to manage that workload effectively. It requires strong organisational skills, clear communication, practical problem-solving and the ability to work independently, manage time effectively and take initiative.

A significant part of the role involves maintaining the safety, upkeep and functionality of our sites. This includes planning and preparing the weekly maintenance workload, carrying out and overseeing routine maintenance, completing repairs and basic carpentry work, managing planned preventative maintenance (PPM), and identifying and escalating larger or specialist repair needs to the Operations Manager or relevant contractor.

Alongside the practical work, the Site Manager is responsible for the planning, coordination and administration required to keep maintenance and site tasks moving. This includes maintaining Trello and PPM schedules, planning their working week, managing their diary and task inbox, preparing for upcoming jobs and keeping accurate records of work completed and outstanding and their reconciliation. 

The Site Manager also provides practical on-the-ground support to staff and sites, including troubleshooting physical or technical issues, delivering practical training where required, providing operational cover when necessary and helping implement changes led by the Operations Manager or Staff Manager.

They work closely with the Founders, Operations Manager, Staff Manager and Site Runner to ensure site work is appropriately prioritised, planned and completed. This position is ideal for a proactive, organised and adaptable person with experience in hospitality, outdoor operations, skilled trades or DIY, facilities management, multi-site operations or a similar hands-on operational environment.
