No two days are the same, making this an ideal role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys making a real difference.

About the Role:

Working closely with our Facilities Manager and Service & Maintenance team, you'll play a key role in coordinating planned and reactive maintenance across our nationwide network of sites.

• Raising and monitoring work orders through our Facilities Management system.
• Scheduling contractor visits and liaising with sites across the business.
• Maintaining accurate maintenance and compliance records.
• Supporting Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) programmes.
• Raising purchase orders and assisting with maintenance quotations.
• Responding to maintenance enquiries and providing regular updates.
• Producing reports and supporting the wider Facilities team with day-to-day administration.

About you:

You'll be highly organised, enjoy working with people and have excellent attention to detail. You'll be comfortable managing multiple priorities and confident communicating with colleagues, suppliers and contractors. You'll also have:

• Previous experience in an administration or coordination role.
• Excellent organisational and time management skills.
• Strong communication and customer service skills.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, including Outlook, Word and Excel.
• A proactive approach and the ability to work independently.

It would be great if you also have:

• Experience within Facilities Management, Property, Estates or Maintenance.
• Experience using a Facilities Management (FM) or Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
• Experience using SharePoint.
• Knowledge of Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) and statutory compliance.
