We’re looking for an experienced Health, Safety & Facilities Manager to take ownership of workplace safety, facilities operations, and wellbeing initiatives across a busy and technical working environment.
This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone who enjoys variety — from ensuring compliance with health & safety regulations, to managing contractors, overseeing building maintenance, and supporting office operations. You’ll be the key contact for creating a safe, efficient, and engaging place to work.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage all aspects of health, safety, and environmental compliance across the site.

  • Oversee day-to-day facilities operations, ensuring the building and office space are well-maintained and fit for purpose.
  • Manage hard and soft service contracts, including cleaning, catering, maintenance, and supplies.
  • Lead small works and refurbishment projects — from planning through to completion.
  • Oversee building access, space planning, and office layout changes.
  • Manage relationships with landlords, external contractors, and service providers.
  • Support company wellbeing and sustainability initiatives in partnership with HR and senior leadership.
  • Track and manage facilities budgets and expenditure, ensuring value for money.
  • Assist with onboarding and offboarding processes related to workspace, health and safety, and equipment.
  • Oversee administrative staff and ensure smooth office operations.
  • Coordinate internal communications and company events when required.
Must Have
  • Proven experience in facilities management, ideally in a technical or engineering setting.
  • Strong understanding of building systems and relevant engineering principles.
  • Demonstrable experience managing health, safety, and security.
  • NEBOSH General Certificate (or equivalent qualification).
  • Solid knowledge of UK health & safety and building regulations.
  • Confident managing budgets, suppliers, and external contractors.
  • Strong communication and leadership skills.
  • Practical experience in project management and space planning.
Desirable
  • NEBOSH Diploma (or working toward it).
  • Experience working within an engineering or manufacturing environment.
  • Previous experience delivering internal H&S training.
