Keep our site running at its best

Do you enjoy creating organised, welcoming, and well-maintained environments where people can do their best work?

We're looking for a Facilities Co-ordinator to play a key role in the day-to-day running of our site. This is a varied and hands-on position where no two days are quite the same. From ensuring visitors receive a great first impression to coordinating essential workplace services, you'll be at the centre of keeping our facility safe, efficient, and enjoyable for everyone who works here. Working closely with the Site Engineering Manager, you'll help deliver a wide range of facilities services that support our people, our operations, and our workplace standards.
 
Why you’ll love it here
This is a career with real purpose — one you can genuinely feel proud of. We work a 9-day fortnight at our Skipton site, which means every second Friday is yours to enjoy. Longer weekends, more time with family and friends, and a healthier work life balance.

We also care deeply about the wellbeing of our people. You’ll have full access to our Employee Assistance Programme, offering confidential emotional, physical, and financial support 24/7, 365 days a year. On top of that, you’ll also have access to the below:

You'll work closely with contractors and service providers, ensuring they deliver the high standards our colleagues expect and that contractual requirements are consistently met.

The day-to-day
You'll also be responsible for managing a range of facilities contracts, including access control systems, fire and security alarms, vending machines, sanitary waste services, pest control, grounds maintenance, Legionella compliance activities, and electric vehicle charging facilities.

Regular site walks and inspections will be an important part of your routine. You'll identify issues before they become problems, help maintain excellent workplace standards, respond to building-related concerns, and coordinate solutions to keep the site operating effectively.

Alongside the operational side of the role, you'll support the administration of the facilities function. This includes raising purchase orders, monitoring expenditure, maintaining accurate records, producing performance reports, and supporting planned maintenance activities when required.

Most importantly, you'll act as a trusted point of contact for colleagues, contrac
