Are you an experienced Facilities, Site Services or Utilities Engineer looking to take ownership of the facilities function within a busy manufacturing environment?
This is an opportunity to join an established food manufacturer as their Facilities Manager, taking responsibility for the site's critical utilities, infrastructure, and associated compliance.

What you'll be doing:
- Taking responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the site's steam boilers and steam distribution network.
- Managing compressed air systems, including associated distribution equipment.
- Overseeing chillers, refrigeration, and HVAC systems across the facility.
- Coordinating statutory and insurance inspections, ensuring remedial actions are completed appropriately.
- Managing planned and reactive maintenance across facilities and building services.
- Coordinating specialist contractors and external service providers.
- Ensuring site utilities and facilities equipment remain compliant with relevant legislation and regulatory requirements.
- Taking responsibility for general building and external area maintenance.
- Working closely with the wider engineering and production teams to ensure reliable site services and minimize disruption to manufacturing.
