  • Facilities management: maintain and develop the site's buildings and infrastructure so they keep pace with operational growth.
  • Health and safety: put safety standards into practice, deliver training, keep accurate records and support audits.
  • Planning and resourcing: plan and schedule resources and rosters, set team goals and assess short- and medium-term staffing needs.
  • Projects: oversee engineering projects and technical improvements so they're delivered on time and on budget.
  • Budget and vendors: manage the department budget, find and manage suppliers and contractors, and keep costs under control.
  • Continuous improvement: improve processes and procedures, investigate issues and put corrective actions in place.
  • Reporting: produce clear, timely reports and presentations for senior management.
  • Stakeholders: work closely with operations leaders, senior management and directors across the business.

What you'll bring

  • 3 to 5 years practical engineering experience at managerial level
  • Multi-skilled in both electrical and mechanical disciplines
  • Hands-on experience with automated equipment such as material handling machinery, sortation and conveyor systems
  • Strong leadership, planning and organisational skills
  • Sound judgement and decision-making in a fast-paced operational environment
  • Experience in project and vendor management
  • A strong commitment to safety, compliance and continuous improvement

Why apply?

This is a chance to take ownership of a critical site within a world-class logistics network. You'll have real influence over how the site is maintained and developed, alongside clear routes for professional growth.
