The Role: Making a Splash

This isn’t just about keeping the lights on. As our Facilities Manager, you’ll be the custodian of our physical workspace, ensuring our warehouses are safe, efficient, and fully compliant.

• Contractor Coordination: Proactively manage service providers. We expect high standards, and you’ll be the one ensuring our partners deliver every time.

• Continuous Improvement: Don’t just maintain the status quo—refresh it. You’ll develop strategies to boost efficiency and reduce costs across all sites.

• Proven Leadership: You’ve got a track record of building high-performing teams and motivating people to deliver their best.

• Problem-Solving Skills: When a situation gets pressurized, you remain calm and find the root cause of the issue fast.

• Logistics Experience: Ideally, you’ve worked in a warehouse environment before.

• Mobile & Flexible: You’re happy to be based in Leyland, with the flexibility to head over to Skelmersdale whenever the business needs you.
