Facilities Manager

Due to COOMBES's continued growth, we are looking for a Facilities Manager to source multiple new Company premises within the south, south east and north of England and to be responsible for Hard and Soft Facilities Management across the business.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the expansion of the company through identifying, securing and project managing the acquisition of new premises and the subsequent transitions. You will utilise your experience in this area to identify appropriate offices that are professional yet practical, along with compound space for storage of machinery, mechanical equipment, company vans, etc. Your knowledge of leases, insurance and business rates is essential for your success.

You will be encouraged and supported to take ownership of the Facilities team, driving forward improvements and positive change, gleaned from your successful experience in a similar role at an SME. You will take pride in ensuring facilities are maintained to a high standard on a day-to-day basis and in providing a great environment for our colleagues and clients. Your ability to establish excellent relationships and be an effective communicator with internal and external stakeholders is therefore essential.

As well as advising and leading the business on all Facilities matters, this is also a hands-on role requiring you to be reactive and flexible in your approach to deal effectively with the needs of the business and ultimately support the operations of a delivery-focussed and professional company.

As well as sharing COOMBES's Values, the successful candidate will have previous experience in a similar role, particularly in delivering office moves/acquisitions and the ability to work on your own initiative. You will take a proactive approach, have excellent organisational and communication skills and be willing to roll your sleeves up and 'muck-in' as part of a close-knit team.
