Facilities Manager – Leading Retail Destination, Northwest
Be the driving force behind exceptional day-to-day operations at a high-profile, customer-focused shopping centre.
We’re looking for an experienced and hands-on Facilities Manager to lead the daily delivery of cleaning, security, waste, and car park services at a busy retail destination in the Northwest of England. Working closely with the on-site management team and wider stakeholders, you’ll play a key role in ensuring the centre not only meets expectations – but exceeds them.
From budget control and contractor management to compliance and project support, this is a role packed with variety, influence, and opportunity.
Why This Role Stands Out
🛍 Join one of the Northwest’s top shopping destinations – a busy, high-profile retail hub like no other in the UK
🤝 Supportive, collaborative team culture – where your ideas and leadership will make a real difference
🔄 A role with variety and impact – from H&S and soft services to OPEX and contractor performance
🌟 Real investment in your development – training (including IOSH/NEBOSH) fully supported
What You’ll Bring
* Proven experience managing cleaning, security, or soft FM services in a high-footfall, public-facing environment
* Knowledge of H&S compliance and incident response
* A steady, proactive leadership style – confident in managing teams and building lasting relationships
* Commercial awareness – able to manage budgets, including expansive OPEX, monitor service delivery, and drive continuous improvement
* Bonus points for experience in retail, shopping centres, or property management environments
* Ability to work 37.5 contracted hours with one 'late' shift a week 12-8pm and 1 in 4 weekends as Duty Manager
Whether you’re already working as a Facilities Manager or a Soft Services Manager looking to step up, this role offers the next big challenge in a supportive, ambitious environment.
