- Support compliance across key building services, including fire safety, electrical systems, HVAC, water hygiene, and security.
- Build strong relationships with depot managers and operational teams, providing a responsive facilities service with minimal disruption to operations.
- Support facilities improvement projects, refurbishments, office moves, and equipment installations.
- Help manage facilities budgets, maintenance records, and compliance documentation while identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
- Produce maintenance reports and performance updates, helping drive continuous improvement across the facilities function.
- The Ideal Candidate
- Experience in facilities management, building maintenance, or property services within warehouse, logistics, manufacturing, retail, or industrial environments.
- Good understanding of building services, planned maintenance, statutory compliance, contractor management, and health and safety legislation.
- Experience using CAFM or maintenance management systems to manage assets, maintenance activities, and compliance records.
- Strong organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills with the ability to prioritise workloads and manage multiple tasks across a multi-site environment.
