Job description

Overview

Jackson Hogg is delighted to be supporting our client in the recruitment of a Site Services Manager for a brand-new manufacturing plant. This is a rare opportunity to join a business at the very start of its journey. As Site Services Manager, you'll take ownership of all on-site maintenance, service contracts, and facilities activities, ensuring the site remains safe, compliant, and running efficiently as operations scale up. This is a hands-on, practical role where you'll be the key link between contractors, site teams, and senior leadership, making sure everything from building maintenance to signage and security runs smoothly.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of site services and facilities across the new plant.
• Manage and coordinate contracts for building maintenance, cleaning, security, and groundskeeping.
• Plan and oversee maintenance visits, contractor permits, and site access.
• Maintain and improve site infrastructure — including painting, signage, road markings, parking, fencing, drainage, and minor building modifications.
• Ensure ongoing compliance with health, safety, environmental, and statutory requirements.
• Liaise with highways, utilities, and local authorities where necessary (without owning those contracts).
• Support small-scale projects such as office fit-outs, layout changes, and site improvements.
• Promote a proactive safety and maintenance culture across the site.
• Identify and deliver practical improvements to site efficiency, cost control, and sustainability.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Experience in site services, facilities, or maintenance management within an industrial or manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of building maintenance, contractor management, and compliance.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills with a hands-on approach.
• Proven ability to manage multiple contractors and service providers effectively.
• IT literate, ideally with experience using maintenance or asset management systems.

Desirable

• Experience in plant commissioning or new site start-ups.
• NEBOSH, IOSH, or equivalent HSE qualification.
• Exposure to sustainability, waste reduction, or energy efficiency initiatives.

What’s on Offer

• £60,000 - £70,000 per annum, plus benefits.
• Day-shift role with excellent work-life balance.
• Opportunity to shape the site services function from the ground up.
• A visible, hands-on role within a growing and ambitious organisation.
• Genuine scope for professional growth as the site and wider business expand.
