Head of Facilities Management

Are you ready to take ownership of a major workplace transformation and make a lasting impact on a large corporate organisation? This is an opportunity for an accomplished Head of Facilities to step into a pivotal leadership role where your expertise, vision and ability to deliver will genuinely make a difference.

We're looking for someone who understands that exceptional facilities management is about far more than maintaining buildings. It's about creating outstanding working environments, empowering people, protecting the business, and ensuring every aspect of the workplace operates at its very best.

You'll take ownership of facilities operations across a large corporate office environment, lead and develop an established internal team, influence senior stakeholders and drive operational excellence. Alongside this, you'll play a central role in a significant office refurbishment, helping shape a modern, effective workplace that meets the organisation's future needs.

This is a role for someone who can think strategically, lead confidently and turn ambitious plans into measurable results.

The Opportunity: Where You'll Make Your Mark

• Lead, Inspire and Develop Your Team: Great facilities management starts with great people. You'll provide the leadership, direction and support needed to build a proactive, accountable and service-focused team. Lead, mentor and develop the internal facilities team, creating a culture of ownership, collaboration and continuous improvement. Establish clear KPIs, performance standards and development plans. Empower your team to anticipate challenges, resolve issues and deliver an exceptional workplace experience. Set the standard for professionalism, responsiveness and customer service across all facilities operations.
• Lead a Major Office Refurbishment: One of the defining elements of this position will be your involvement in a substantial office refurbishment and workplace transformation. You'll act as the internal facilities lead, bringing together the right people, managing competing priorities and ensuring the project delivers against its objectives. Take ownership of the facilities contribution to the refurbishment, from initial planning through delivery and final handover. Work closely with architects, designers, contractors and project managers to bring the workplace vision to life. Manage budgets, timelines, risks and operational requirements, ensuring the project remains commercially focused and well controlled. Coordinate the transition to the refurbished environment while minimising disruption to employees and business operations. Ensure the finished workplace is safe, compliant, efficient, sustainable and fit for the future. Your previous experience of a major office refurbishment will be essential in helping you anticipate challenges, manage complexity and deliver a successful outcome.
• Take Control of Corporate Facilities Operations: You'll be responsible for ensuring that the workplace runs smoothly, efficiently and consistently, even in a demanding, high-occupancy corporate environment. Oversee the day-to-day management and long-term development of facilities operations across the estate. Ensure buildings, equipment and workplace services are maintained to consistently high standards. Manage planned preventative maintenance (PPM), asset registers and facilities documentation. Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, service delivery, sustainability and value for money. Develop practical solutions that balance employee experience, operational performance and commercial priorities.
• Build Strong Relationships and Deliver Commercial Value: You'll work closely with senior stakeholders and external service partners, building trust through clear communication, sound judgement and reliable delivery. Act as the principal facilities contact for senior stakeholders, providing clear updates on operational performance, budgets, risks and project progress. Manage external contractors and service providers across hard and soft facilities management.

This is your opportunity to bring together your facilities leadership experience, corporate workplace expertise and project delivery skills in a role with real responsibility. You'll have the opportunity to influence how a major corporate workplace operates, develop a high-performing team and help deliver a significant refurbishment that will shape the working environment for years to come. If you have successfully led facilities in a corporate office of 1,000+ employees, have genuine experience of major office refurbishment, and are ready to make your next move count, we'd welcome a conversation.
