We are seeking an experienced Facilities Manager to lead the day to day operation, maintenance and continuous improvement of our manufacturing and office facilities at our Hingham site.
As Mirus continues to grow and expand its production capacity including the development of new buildings and the potential for a future factory, this is a highly practical, hands-on Facilities Manager role, responsible for ensuring our buildings, infrastructure, utilities, site services, production equipment and machinery are fully supported in a high-performing aerospace manufacturing environment. You will manage contractors, site services, maintenance programmes, budgets and improvement projects, ensuring the site remains safe, compliant, efficient and fit for future growth.
While the role has responsibility for supporting Health & Safety and environmental compliance, the primary focus is the effective management and development of our facilities and infrastructure and is a pivotal role within the Operations function.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced facilities professional to make a tangible impact in a growing, forward-thinking aerospace business.
About the role
You will be responsible for a small team, ensuring that our sites, infrastructure and services operate safely, compliantly and sustainably, while driving continuous improvement and embedding a strong culture of responsibility and operational excellence. Combining hands-on facilities management with leadership of health and safety frameworks in a highly regulated aerospace manufacturing environment, you will also lead the implementation and maintenance of a UK CAA-approved Safety Management System (SMS).
This is a highly practical, hands-on Facilities Manager role where you will need to be comfortable being visible on site and, where appropriate, supporting with minor maintenance tasks yourself when this is the quickest and most effective way to resolve issues, while ensuring all work is carried out safely and in line with site procedures.
