Facilities Manager

Stone

Up to £55,000 (depending on experience)

 

If you are someone who is really looking for something to get your teeth into and are all about getting things done……..this one’s for you.

 

This isn’t a role where everything is already polished and running perfectly. It’s a site that needs bringing back up to standard. The kind of place where the basics matter, where people notice when things aren’t right, and where the right person can make a visible difference quickly.

 

You will be stepping into a role with real ownership. Not just managing contractors or ticking boxes, but actually taking control of how the site operates day to day. Fixing what needs fixing, improving what’s there, and helping shape how the facility supports the business as it continues to grow.

 

There is genuine investment going into the site, with improvements already underway and more planned. There isn’t a fully defined structure in place, so this is an opportunity to build how facilities should operate going forward, putting the right processes, standards and support in place for the long term.

 

You will also play a key role in how the site evolves, supporting future growth and ensuring the facility is fit for what’s coming next.

 

What you will be doing:

 

  • Taking full ownership of facilities across the site

  • Getting on top of day-to-day issues and improving site standards

  • Managing building services and utilities including HVAC, electrical and general infrastructure

  • Coordinating contractors and ensuring safe systems of work

  • Supporting and coordinating both reactive and preventative maintenance to ensure asset reliability and minimal downtime

  • Working closely with operations to minimise disruption and support manufacturing activity

  • Overseeing site services including general facilities and workplace areas

  • Supporting health & safety compliance, audits and risk assessments

  • Contributing to site improvements, upgrades and ongoing development projects

  • Introducing structure, processes and more effective ways of working

  • Working with a long-standing workforce, bringing people with you as standards are improved and changes are introduced

  • Supporting site response where required, including shared on-call responsibility over time

 

What we need from you:

 

  • Experience in facilities, engineering or site services within a manufacturing environment

  • A hands-on approach and willingness to get stuck in where needed

  • Strong experience managing contractors and external service providers

  • Good understanding of building services and site infrastructure

  • Health & safety knowledge (NEBOSH or similar would be ideal)

  • Ability to prioritise and manage a varied workload

  • Confident communicator who can work across teams and influence when needed

  • Someone comfortable taking ownership in a standalone site role

  • A practical mindset with a focus on getting things done properly

 

What you can expect in return:

 

  • Salary up to £55,000 depending on experience

  • Company benefits package (details available on request)

 

If you enjoy being close to the action, taking responsibility and seeing the results of your work, this is a role where you can genuinely make your mark. Get in touch today to find out more

About The ONE Group

The ONE Group is a specialist recruitment consultancy with offices in Cambridge, Peterborough, Northampton, and Hertfordshire.

We recruit across Technology, Engineering & Manufacturing, Scientific, Sales, and Marketing, with consultants who specialise in their sector rather than trying to cover everything. This focused approach allows us to provide deeper market knowledge, stronger networks, and better hiring outcomes for both clients and candidates.

Our expertise spans permanent, contract, and senior-level appointments. Most importantly, the majority of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals, reflecting the long-term relationships we build and the trust we earn through consistently delivering results.

1

One of our consultants will review your application within one working day.

2

If your experience looks like a fit, we'll be in touch for a quick conversation to understand what you're looking for.

3

From there, we'll talk you through the role properly, prepare you for interview, and stay alongside you through to your start date.

Whatever happens with this role, we'll keep your details on file, with your permission, so we can flag other opportunities that suit you.

THE ONE GROUP

Where we're from,
and how we got here

Twenty years of specialist recruitment in the East – and a lot of small decisions that added up.

TOG started in Peterborough in 2004 with a small team and a simple idea: that recruitment is a people business, done best by specialists who stay in their sector long enough to know it properly.

More than two decades on, we've grown into four offices across the East of England and Home Counties. We recruit for finance leaders, HR directors, engineering managers, tech founders, scientists, and the commercial teams that keep businesses running day to day. Between us, we've built up over 258 years of collective recruitment experience across our specialist divisions, and a network of more than 150,000 candidates we've placed, coached, or come to know across two decades in the region.

The founding principle hasn't changed. Recruitment as it should be.

OUR STORY

Key events timeline

2004

Doors open in Peterborough.

Our first office launches with a team of six on Lynch Wood. Cambridge follows the same year, giving us two offices before our first anniversary.

2015

Northampton makes it three.

Our third office opens with a team of five, quickly growing to eleven consultants covering the wider Midlands region.

2017

Peterborough moves across the road.

The team has outgrown the founding office. We move into Arena House on Lynch Wood, big enough for a growing consultant base and the back-office team that supports the whole group.

2018

Cambridge moves too.

Our second office relocates to Cambourne Business Park, giving the growing Cambridge team the space it now needs.

2023

Four offices, three counties, one very good year.

The Hertfordshire & Essex office opens in Potters Bar, extending our footprint into the Home Counties.

In the same year, we're named Business of the Year in Northamptonshire, and Employer of the Year in both Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire at the regional SME Business Awards. Three counties, three panels.

TODAY

Still growing.

Four offices, more than 258 years of collective recruitment experience across our specialist divisions, and a network of over 150,000 candidates.

Same founding principle.

SPECIALISTS BY DESIGN

What we do

We're specialists, not generalists. Every consultant at TOG focuses on one sector and stays in it. Not because it's the only way to do recruitment, but because it's how you build the depth to spot the difference between a strong CV and a strong hire.

It's also why so many of our clients come back to us years, even decades, after a first placement.

THE WAY WE WORK

How we work

Four principles show up in every conversation and every process.
01

Be curious.

We stay interested in the market we work in, and in the people who work in it.

02

Keep it human.

We remember your kids' names and know how you take your coffee. That's just how we work here.

03

Make a difference.

We're here to help people build careers they love and businesses they're proud of.

04

Enjoy the ride.

Recruitment is a career, but it should be fun too. If it isn't, we've done something wrong.

WHAT COMES NEXT?
