There are no organisations exempt from maintenance tasks, and thus there is a consistent need for individuals assigned to tend to such requirements as well as those commissioned to oversee the process of doing so, also known as maintenance supervisors. These individuals may work in a variety of industries, ranging from manufacturing to automobiles, landscaping and technological fields, as well as in public organisations such as schools, universities and health facilities
Day-to-day tasks differ according to industry and position; however, almost all persons working in this field will be required to monitor facilities and equipment, clean them and make general updates and repairs when necessary. Supervisors must oversee all of such tasks in regards to personnel, scheduling, management approval and purchasing
Salaries depend largely on the industry and exact position; however, those working in maintenance supervisory positions in the UK see an average remuneration rate of £32,000 per year. Supervisors with expert knowledge and experience in specific trades and technological areas are more likely to see rates of around £40,00 per year.
