Job description

It’s overseeing the maintenance of iconic buildings.

It’s leading a team to deliver exceptional service. And it’s being a key part of a prestigious institution. This is what makes working for The Royal Household unique.

As the Senior Facilities Manager for the Windsor Estate, you will play a key role in ensuring the efficient operation of one of the most prestigious estates, which includes Windsor Castle, the Royal Mews, and Hampton Court Mews. You will oversee both Hard and Soft Facilities Management services across a variety of historic and listed buildings, ensuring they are compliant with statutory and regulatory requirements.

Leading a team of Facilities Managers, Maintenance Technicians, and Electricians, you will ensure service contracts are executed to the highest standards and that all health and safety regulations are met. From managing planned and reactive maintenance to overseeing the preparation for key events, you’ll ensure the Windsor Estate operates smoothly and effectively.

You’ll also have a crucial role in managing an annual budget of £2.5 million, overseeing supplier relationships and contract performance, while fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.

This role will suit senior FM professionals who excel in delivering best in class services in similar high public footfall and prestigious environments. A proven track record in successfully leading both in-house teams in addition to outsourced partners will be essential.
