Buildings Manager

Merchant Taylors’ School has been one of the leading boys’ schools in the UK since its foundation by the Merchant Taylors’ Livery Company of the City of London in 1561. One of the nine great ‘Clarendon schools’, its alumni have achieved distinction throughout history. However, the school wears its heritage lightly, its strong sense of tradition very much at the service of the future. Through the Merchant Taylors’ Educational Trust, it retains close links with other Merchant Taylors’ schools, and with the Merchant Taylors’ Company itself. Relocated from the City of London to Sandy Lodge, Northwood in 1933, the School sits on 285 acres of playing fields, and woodland, all within easy reach of Central London, Middlesex, Buckinghamshire, and Hertfordshire.

The Buildings Manager will be responsible for planning and directing maintenance and refurbishment works across over 60,000 square metres of School buildings. They will lead, inspire and manage a team of 8 multi-skilled artisans and coordinate the work of external contractors to maintain and improve the School buildings.
