• Support site acquisitions, fit-outs, refurbishments, and disposals aligned with business growth
• Oversee day-to-day facilities operations, including HVAC, utilities, security, access control, and waste management
• Ensure all environments (office, warehouse, storage) are optimised, efficient, and fit for purpose
• Take a hands-on approach to resolving operational issues quickly and effectively
• Lead on health & safety and regulatory compliance, including:
• MHRA and GDP standards
• Fire safety, legionella, and electrical compliance
• Manage audits, inspections, and risk assessments, ensuring full regulatory adherence
• Own and manage estates and facilities budgets, tracking spend and identifying cost efficiencies
• Ensure all suppliers and contractors deliver against SLAs and KPIs, driving value for money
• Build strong relationships across internal teams and act as a trusted advisor to leadership on estates strategy and operational performance

What do you need?

• 5-10+ years’ experience in a senior estates, facilities, or property management role
• Strong expertise in commercial property, leases, rent reviews, and service charges
• Proven experience managing landlord relationships and supplier contracts
• Solid understanding of health & safety and compliance frameworks

• Ability to travel between our Winnersh and London sites
• Strong financial and commercial acumen, with experience managing budgets and delivering efficiencies
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and negotiation skills
• IOSH / NEBOSH (or equivalent) desirable
• A hands-on, proactive mindset with the ability to operate both strategically and operationally
