We are recruiting for a global manufacturer in Newport. The facilities team keeps a complex, high spec manufacturing operation running safely. You will lead the contractors who make that happen.
This is a management role. It is not a hands-on maintenance job. You will report to the Facilities & Projects Manager and work closely with manufacturing and other support teams.
What you will do
- Manage sub-contractors on routine, planned and emergency work.
- Control an operational budget of around four million pounds a year, with regular reporting.
- Create permits to work and validate risk assessments and method statements.
- Write scopes of work for quotation and tender.
- Run the facilities work request process for ad hoc jobs across the site.
- Plan and prioritise work to keep downtime low and use resources well.
- Lead small projects such as office refurbishments, from scope to handover.
- Work with other departments to settle competing priorities.
- Make sure every job follows a safe system of work and meets CDM 2015.
What you will bring
- A time served apprenticeship in a mechanical or electrical trade.
- Current experience managing contractors and budgets. You will already be off the tools.
- Hands-on knowledge of permits to work, RAMS and safe systems of work.
- Working knowledge of CDM 2015.
- Experience on an industrial, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, hospital or data centre site.
- Good Microsoft Office skills, including Excel and Project.
- Strong attention to detail and the confidence to hold contractors to account.
It would help if you have
- An HNC or HND in mechanical or electrical engineering.
- A NEBOSH General Certificate.
- Knowledge of central plant such as HVAC, chillers, compressed air and utilities.
- Experience of commissioning and decommissioning plant.
- Experience with SAP or a similar system.
If it sounds like an ideal opportunity for you, please apply for immediate consideration.
