Leading a team of Facilities Managers, Maintenance Technicians, and Electricians, you will ensure service contracts are delivered to the highest standards and that all health and safety regulations are met. You’ll manage planned and reactive maintenance, oversee the smooth running of official events, and ensure that our work has minimal impact on daily operations.

Key Responsibilities:

* Lead the Facilities Team: Ensure high performance, adherence to Royal Household standards, and effective line management.

* Manage Specialist Contracts: Oversee Hard and Soft FM contracts, ensuring works are completed to the required standards and in line with statutory regulations.

* Oversee Event Preparation: Ensure the successful setup for official events, such as State functions and Garden Parties, with a focus on safety and efficiency.

* Ensure Compliance: Manage statutory duties, risk awareness, and legislative compliance, with regular reporting to senior management.

* Financial Management: Monitor budgets, oversee contract administration, and ensure compliance with financial processes.

* Stakeholder Engagement: Liaise closely with both internal and external stakeholders to ensure clear communication and service delivery.

Essential Criteria

Along with a passion for maintaining historic buildings, you have:

* Master’s Degree in a Facilities Management, Property or Construction-related discipline.

* IWFM Level 7 Qualification or equivalent

* Extensive experience in a Senior Facilities Management role working with both hard & soft facilities management services, including contract management.

* Strong knowledge of statutory standards for building maintenance and operation, such as Gas Safe, Asbestos, Legionella, and CDM.

* Demonstrable experience in statutory compliance, risk management, and managing contracts within a value-for-money environment.

* Proven experience managing budgets and financial processes.

* Excellent people management, leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, with a diplomatic and collaborative approach.

* IT literate, with proficiency in MS Office and CAFM systems.

We know that to deliver our best work; we need to feel at our best. That’s why at the Royal Household we offer a generous benefits package designed to support your wellbeing and life priorities.

Enjoy 25 days annual leave, rising to 30 days (plus bank holidays) dependent on the length of time you have worked for us.
