Job description

Facilities and Maintenance Manager, up to £55,000 per annum + Great Benefits, Newcastle Area, Fantastic Company with Great Culture.

Are you ready to take ownership, make things happen and have a genuine impact?

This is not a role where you simply keep buildings ticking over.

This is an opportunity for an experienced Facilities and Maintenance Manager to take real ownership of a multi-site estate, drive standards, improve facilities, manage contractors and suppliers, and play a key role in shaping the future of the working environment.

If you are someone who sees a problem and thinks "how can we fix this?" rather than "someone should sort that", this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're looking for a confident, commercially minded and highly organised Facilities and Maintenance Manager who can take responsibility for the condition, compliance, security and safety of multiple buildings across an operational environment.

You’ll have the autonomy to make decisions, influence stakeholders and turn ideas into tangible improvements.

In short: you’ll own it, improve it and make it happen.

What will you be responsible for?

As Facilities and Maintenance Manager, you’ll have broad responsibility across the estate and will become the key point of ownership for facilities, maintenance, compliance and contractor performance.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Taking full responsibility for the day-to-day condition, compliance, security and safety of all buildings.
• Managing a range of facilities contractors and suppliers, including cleaning, gardening, maintenance and minor works.
• Taking ownership of contractor performance, scheduling, service levels and cost control.
• Developing and managing a robust planned preventative maintenance (PPM) programme across all buildings.
• Playing an active role in building improvement and facilities projects, working alongside engineering and continuous improvement colleagues to scope, cost and deliver upgrades.
• Managing building leases, purchases and sales processes.
• Working closely with sustainability colleagues to identify and deliver energy efficiency, sustainability and carbon reduction initiatives.
• Providing facilities expertise and input into ongoing and future development projects.
• Maintaining a comprehensive facilities risk and compliance programme, including statutory testing, insurance requirements and premises health & safety.
• Regularly reporting on estate condition, contractor performance, compliance and improvement project progress.

This is a role where your judgement will matter.

You’ll be expected to work with autonomy, identify opportunities, solve problems and make decisions that improve the operation.

What are we looking for?

We're looking for an experienced Facilities and Maintenance Manager, Facilities Manager, Facilities & Maintenance Manager or similar professional who knows how to take ownership of a complex operational environment.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Proven Facilities Management experience, particularly within manufacturing, production, warehouse or industrial environments.
• A strong understanding of Health & Safety and facilities compliance.
• Proven experience managing contractors, suppliers and external service providers.
• Strong commercial awareness, including cost control and supplier management.
• Excellent organisational and planning skills.
• The ability to work collaboratively across different departments and functions.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Excellent analytical, investigative and problem-solving abilities.
• The confidence to make decisions, influence stakeholders and take responsibility for outcomes.

This is a role for someone who wants to make a difference

The successful Facilities and Maintenance Manager will have genuine autonomy and accountability.

You’ll be trusted to plan your workload, manage priorities and deliver against time, quality and cost objectives.

You’ll work with internal teams, external contractors, suppliers and senior stakeholders, meaning you’ll need to be someone who can communicate effectively at every level.

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who doesn't simply manage facilities - you improve them.

You’ll proactively identify issues, investigate solutions and turn opportunities into practical improvements.

You’ll also need the ability to understand the bigger picture: how facilities, maintenance, compliance, sustainability and the wider operation all connect.

Why this opportunity?

Because your impact will be visible.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

Take ownership.

Solve problems.

Improve buildings.

Drive standards.

Deliver projects.

Make things happen.

If you're an experienced Facilities and Maintenance Manager looking for a role where you can genuinely take ownership rather than simply manage a list of tasks, we'd love to hear from you.
