Are you an engineer with experience across building services, projects or contractor management looking for a rare opportunity to be involved in developing a brand-new production facility?

This is a unique opportunity to join a globally recognised business as they expand their UK footprint through the acquisition and redevelopment of a new industrial site.

You’ll play a key role in taking the facility from initial redevelopment through to a fully operational production site, working closely with contractors, engineering teams and stakeholders to deliver the project and shape the future of the site.

Backed by a multi-billion-pound global organisation, this is a secure, well-invested environment with long-term progression into a senior site services or facilities role once the project is complete.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting the redevelopment of a newly acquired industrial site into a production facility
• Managing and coordinating external contractors across mechanical, electrical and civil works
• Reviewing RAMS, ensuring compliance with CDM regulations and site safety standards
• Supporting planning, layout and integration of utilities including electrical, gas and HVAC systems
• Overseeing delivery of works to time, cost and quality expectations
• Assisting with installation and commissioning of plant, equipment and infrastructure
• Acting as a key link between engineering, contractors and wider project stakeholders
• Supporting the transition from project phase into a fully operational manufacturing site

What’s In It for You?

• Opportunity to be involved in building and developing a new production facility from the ground up
• Long-term progression into a site services / facilities leadership role
• Job security within a global engineering business with strong investment and growth plans
• Exposure to large-scale projects, site development and capital investment
• Competitive salary, bonus and enhanced benefits package including private health cover, life assurance (x6 annual salary) + full comprehensive sickness and enhanced annual leave.
• Stable day-based role with strong work-life balance

What We’re Looking For

• Background in one of the following:
  • Contracts Manager / Project Engineer
  • Facilities / Building Services Engineer
  • Maintenance or Site Services Engineer with project exposure

Essential:

• Background in building services, facilities, estates or construction
• Site development, refurbishment or building-related projects
• Managing contractors and coordinating multiple workstreams
• Reviewing RAMS, permits and safe systems of work
• Awareness of CDM / construction safety
• Understanding of building services (electrical, HVAC, utilities)

Desirable:

• Exposure to project/build lifecycles (design tender build handover)
• Familiarity with structured frameworks such as RIBA stages (or similar)
• Exposure to planning, building regulations or site development
• Experience supporting commissioning or handover of facilities

Are You Up for the Challenge?

This is a rare opportunity to join a business at a key stage of growth, where you can directly influence the development of a new site and play a long-term role in its success.

If you’re looking for something different from a standard maintenance role and want to be part of a major project with long-term progression, we’d like to hear from you.
