Lead Facilities. Drive Compliance. Shape Operational Excellence.
Gloucester Up to 60,000 p. a. + Benefits – Leading site wide facilities management across a busy large–scale manufacturing and engineering facility.
A well–established UK manufacturer is looking to appoint an experienced Facilities Manager to take ownership of its site infrastructure and facilities function at a large, complex manufacturing operation.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a successful and continually investing business where facilities management is viewed as a critical operational function.
Reporting into senior leadership, you'll play a key role in ensuring the site remains safe, compliant, efficient and ready to support future growth.
This is far more than a maintenance role.
You'll be responsible for delivering a robust facilities strategy, managing statutory compliance, driving continuous improvement and ensuring the site's infrastructure performs to the highest possible standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the day‑to‑day delivery of all hard and soft facilities services.
- Take ownership of statutory compliance across the site, ensuring all legal obligations are achieved and maintained.
- Manage planned preventative maintenance programmes and reactive works across all building services and infrastructure.
- Oversee electrical systems, HVAC, water systems, building fabric, utilities and associated facilities assets.
- Act as the site's lead for key compliance areas including fire safety, electrical safety, water hygiene, asbestos management, pressure systems, lifting equipment and LEV.
- Manage external contractors and service providers, ensuring safe working practices, performance and value for money.
- Maintain accurate compliance documentation, certification and audit records.
- Deliver facilities‑related improvement projects, capital investments and infrastructure upgrades.
- Support the installation of new plant and equipment, working closely with engineering and operational stakeholders.
- Produce regular performance reporting and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, compliance and service delivery.
About You
We're looking for an experienced Facilities Manager who has operated within a manufacturing, engineering or similarly regulated industrial environment.
You'll have a strong understanding of statutory compliance, contractor management and facilities engineering, alongside the confidence to influence stakeholders across all levels of the business.
You'll ideally bring
- Experience managing facilities within a manufacturing or industrial environment.
- Excellent knowledge of UK facilities legislation and statutory compliance.
- Experience managing both hard and soft FM services.
- Strong contractor, supplier and project management experience.
- Strong communication and leadership skills with the ability to build effective working relationships.
Professional qualifications such as IWFM, IOSH or similar would be advantageous but are by no means essential.
