Job Description:

Are you an experienced Facilities Manager looking for a varied role where you can make a real impact?

We're recruiting for a Facilities Manager to join an innovative life sciences organisation based in Oxford. Supporting a busy office and specialist laboratory environment, you'll take ownership of facilities operations, contractor management, and health & safety, helping to ensure the workplace remains safe, compliant, and efficient.

This is an excellent opportunity to work closely with senior leadership in a growing business where no two days are the same. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, solving problems, and driving continuous improvement, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role
 
As the Facilities Manager, you will:

• Lead Health & Safety across the site, ensuring compliance with legislation, audits, and best practice.
• Manage facilities operations across office and laboratory environments, coordinating contractors, suppliers, and maintenance providers.
• Oversee reactive maintenance, compliance records, licences, and specialist laboratory equipment documentation.
• Build strong relationships with internal teams and external partners to ensure the smooth day-to-day operation of the site.
• Drive process improvements while supporting workplace projects, operational initiatives, and company events.

You
 
To be successful in this role, you'll bring:

• Previous experience as a Facilities Manager, Workplace Manager, Estates Manager, or similar role.
• NEBOSH Diploma preferred. Candidates with a NEBOSH Certificate who are keen to progress to the Diploma will also be considered and supported in their development.
• Experience managing contractors, compliance, audits, and outsourced facilities services.
• Excellent organisational and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience within life sciences, laboratories, biotech, pharmaceutical, diagnostics, healthcare, or another technical environment would be advantageous, but is not essential.

What's in it for you?
 
Join a collaborative organisation where you'll have genuine autonomy and the opportunity to shape facilities and health & safety across an innovative workplace.

• Salary of up to £60,000.
• Hybrid working, typically four days on site and one day from home (business dependent).
