Facilities & Technical Coordinator

As our Facilities & Technical Coordinator, you will coordinate building maintenance, preventative upkeep, contractor relationships, safety documentation, warranties, technical support arrangements and facilities projects across Castle Cinemas.

Castle Cinemas is an independent community cinema group with venues in Hackney and Sidcup, alongside active plans to open additional sites. As part of the Head Office team, this role will work across multiple venues and report to the Head of Cinemas.

This is a brand new role, offering an exciting opportunity to shape how facilities and technical coordination works across Castle Cinemas. You will be able to build systems, improve processes, develop contractor relationships and create ways of working that make a lasting difference across the group.

While you will own the tracking and coordination of these issues, you will not be working in isolation. You will be fully supported by the Head of Cinemas and Venue Management teams, who will help guide decisions, share historical knowledge, and assist with complex problems.

This is primarily a role that requires you to be organised, rather than hands-on. You will make sure that issues are properly logged, prioritised, communicated and resolved by the right contractors or support providers in a timely, cost-sensitive and high-quality way. You will need to be confident in learning technical language and engaging with contractors, and being practical is absolutely a plus.

You will help move the business from reactive problem-solving to proactive venue care: spotting patterns, putting preventative measures in place, maintaining clear records, tracking servicing and warranties, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. You will also champion new projects.

Done well, this role will directly improve the experience of our guests and teams. Clean, tidy, safe, well-maintained and beautiful spaces mean happier guests, happier staff and stronger cinemas.
