We’re looking for a proactive and hands-on Regional Facilities Manager to take ownership of a diverse commercial property portfolio. This is a role for someone who enjoys being on-site, solving problems, and driving standards, not just managing from behind a desk.
You’ll play a key role in ensuring our buildings are safe, compliant, well-maintained and operating to a high standard, working closely with onsite teams, contractors and internal stakeholders.
The Role
This is a fast-paced, operational role where you’ll take responsibility for facilities issues across multiple sites, from identifying problems through to making sure they’re fully resolved.
- Take ownership of FM issues across your portfolio, assessing, prioritising and seeing them through to completion
- Act as the key escalation point for onsite teams and coordinate with contractors and technical specialists
- Carry out regular site visits, identifying risks, defects and opportunities for improvement
- Oversee health & safety, fire safety and statutory compliance, ensuring actions are closed out properly
- Manage contractors, challenging performance and ensuring work is completed to a high standard
- Control costs, reviewing quotes, managing spend and ensuring value for money
- Maintain accurate records via CAFM systems (Vantify or similar)
- Provide clear updates to stakeholders on progress, risks and key issues
About You:

- Experience managing multiple commercial properties or sites (business space assets)
- Strong knowledge of health & safety and building compliance
- Good understanding of Hard FM / building services and contractor management
- Experience working with service charge budgets and cost control
- Confidence using CAFM systems
- IOSH (minimum), with NEBOSH or IWFM qualifications desirable
What Sets This Role Apart
- A genuinely hands-on role with autonomy and ownership
- Exposure to a varied and active portfolio
- Opportunity to influence standards and contractor performance
- A business that values practical problem-solvers and accountability
- Strong potential for development and career growth as the business continues to evolve
The Person
You’ll succeed in this role if you:
- Take ownership and follow things through to completion
- Act quickly when issues arise
- Are confident challenging poor performance
- Communicate clearly and professionally
- Balance cost, urgency and compliance effectively
Benefits:
- Highly competitive salary DOE
- Discretionary bonus scheme
- 25 days holiday per year plus bank holidays
- Additional holiday with service
- Private Medical Insurance (medical history disregarded)
- Annual Dental benefit inclusive of two appointments per year
- Healthcare Cash Plan
