Are you an experienced Facilities Manager who takes pride in creating safe, well-maintained, and compliant working environments?
We're looking for a proactive and organised individual to join our team at Allerton Waste Recovery Park, where you'll play a key role in ensuring our facilities, infrastructure and support services operate safely, efficiently and to the highest standards.
This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same. Working closely with our Operations and Maintenance teams, you'll oversee the management of site facilities, contractors, compliance activities and small improvement projects, helping to keep one of the UK's leading waste recovery facilities running smoothly.
What you'll be doing
- Manage the day-to-day facilities operation across the site, ensuring buildings, grounds and infrastructure are maintained to a high standard.
- Coordinate planned maintenance activities and ensure maintenance records remain accurate and up to date within our Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
- Manage service contracts including cleaning, pest control, waste collection, PPE and other site support services.
- Take ownership of site assets including access control systems, two-way radios, gas monitors, respiratory protective equipment (RPE), lockers and security passes.
- Ensure statutory inspections and compliance activities are completed, including Legionella management, surface water sampling, weather station inspections and site meter monitoring.
- Oversee site security systems including CCTV, fire alarms, automatic gates, intruder alarms and visitor centre facilities.
- Lead and coordinate reactive facilities tasks and deliver small improvement projects outside the scope of the maintenance team.
- Monitor the condition of buildings, structures, handrails, walkways, cladding and external areas, ensuring timely repairs where required.
- Promote excellent housekeeping standards across the site while supporting Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality (HSEQ) compliance.
- Work safely in accordance with company procedures and actively report hazards, near misses and unsafe conditions.
