Facilities Manager
Location: Leyland (Primary) & Skelmersdale (As Required) Reports to: Head of Operations
-----------------------------------
Ready to pour your expertise into a brand-new challenge?
At VictorianPlumbing.co.uk, we’re not just the UK’s leading bathroom retailer; we’re a high-speed operation that relies on world-class infrastructure. We are looking for a Facilities Manager who can keep our engine room running smoothly across our Leyland and Skelmersdale sites.
If you are a strategic thinker who knows how to keep a large-scale operation from running dry, it’s time to take the plunge with a team that’s truly going places.
The Role: Making a Splash
This isn’t just about keeping the lights on. As our Facilities Manager, you’ll be the custodian of our physical workspace, ensuring our warehouses are safe, efficient, and fully compliant. Based primarily at our Leyland site, with periodic visits to oversee our Skelmersdale operations, you’ll ensure our facilities are as polished as a high-end mixer tap.
Your Key Responsibilities:
* Lead the Flow: Head up a multi-disciplinary team, providing the direction and development needed to foster a culture of excellence.
* Financial Precision: Manage budgets and resources with a steady hand. You’ll ensure we get maximum value without letting quality slip down the plughole.
* Watertight Compliance: Implement robust internal controls and H&S measures. You’ll be the gatekeeper of safety, ensuring we meet every regulation with room to spare.
* Contractor Coordination: Proactively manage service providers. We expect high standards, and you’ll be the one ensuring our partners deliver every time.
* Continuous Improvement: Don’t just maintain the status quo—refresh it. You’ll develop strategies to boost efficiency and reduce costs across all sites.
Are You the Perfect Fit?
We’re looking for a professional who is "plumb-perfect" for the following:
* Proven Leadership: You’ve got a track record of building high-performing teams and motivating people to deliver their best.
* Strong Financial Acumen: Budgeting and cost control are second nature to you.
* H&S Knowledge: You’re an expert in health and safety, capable of conducting risk assessments and implementing iron-clad safety measures.
* Problem-Solving Skills: When a situation gets pressurized, you remain calm and find the root cause of the issue fast.
* Logistics Experience: Ideally, you’ve worked in a warehouse environment before and have experience with CAFM systems.
* Mobile & Flexible: You’re happy to be based in Leyland, with the flexibility to head over to Skelmersdale whenever the business needs you.
