Facilities Manager

Electrically qualified site manager needed to take charge of high-tech R&D facilities

A rare opportunity has arisen to take charge of managing the offices, labs, and grounds of a technology development company based south of Cambridge. The role would involve taking charge of a small team who would support you in keeping the facilities working smoothly. 

As Facilities Manager, your role would include a mixture of:

• Leading a small Site Services team, and managing the annual budget and purchasing 
• Overseeing improvements to facilities and planning the preventative maintenance schedule
• Managing external contractors for major work items and specialist services (for instance PAT testing, lift servicing, and fire equipment inspections)
• Hands-on troubleshooting for routine problems with systems such as electrics, plumbing, and air conditioning. (You must have a broad range of building skills and be a qualified electrician)
• On occasion, assist with R&D programs by making rigs, stands etc.

Essential skills and attributes:

• Previous experience in a site management role
• Electrical qualifications and hands-on experience as an electrician
• A solid understanding of health and safety regulations
• A variety of maintenance and repair skills such as basic plumbing, or carpentry
• Good communication and problem-solving skills.
• Full, existing UK work permission and the ability to obtain a UK "SC" security clearance (because the company work on government contracts and you will need to be able to access work areas).

This is a great opportunity to lead a friendly professional team, working within a pleasant office and Lab setting. Working hours are from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday to Friday. Overtime will be paid for the rare occasions when additional hours need to be worked. A competitive salary, benefits package, and annual bonus are on offer to the successful candidate.
