Job Description

Job Title: Group Estates & Engineering Manager

Salary: £90,000 + 7k Car Allowance

Location: UK & Ireland (multi-site)

This is a national role — candidates can be based anywhere in the UK, with regular travel across sites.

Shift: Monday to Friday

This is a rare opportunity to take full ownership of estates, buildings, and infrastructure across 20+ food manufacturing sites — building the function from scratch and shaping how it operates long-term.

Our client, a leading food manufacturing group, is creating a brand-new Group Estates & Engineering Manager role to bring structure, strategy, and leadership to estates across their UK & Ireland network. There is currently no central estates function — giving you a genuine blank canvas to define standards, systems, and long-term direction.

As Group Estates & Engineering Manager, you’ll lead the development of a consistent, group-wide approach to estates and facilities management, while tackling the realities of ageing infrastructure and live production environments. This is a highly visible, strategic role with direct impact on operational performance and future investment.

This is a unique opportunity to build and shape the estates function across a diverse portfolio of manufacturing sites, many of which are undergoing significant infrastructure transformation.

What You’ll Be Doing: Food Manufacturing

• Develop and implement a group-wide estates strategy across multiple manufacturing sites
• Standardise estates and facilities management processes across a diverse estate portfolio
• Lead long-term infrastructure planning, investment, and asset management initiatives
• Oversee buildings, utilities, and site services to ensure safe and efficient food production
• Manage estate condition assessments, including dilapidations and infrastructure reviews
• Drive contractor performance and collaborate with site leadership and central engineering teams

What We’re Looking For: Facilities Management

• Proven experience in a multi-site estates or facilities management role (ideally 10+ sites)
• Background in manufacturing environments, with food or FMCG highly desirable
• Strong knowledge of buildings, infrastructure, utilities, and facilities management
• Experience managing contractors and operating within complex, matrix organisations
• Understanding of compliance, including health & safety and site standards
• NEBOSH or relevant engineering/facilities qualification (desirable)
• Exposure to property elements such as leases, dilapidations, or estate documentation (advantageous)

What’s on Offer:

• Salary: £90,000
• £7,000 car allowance
• 10% bonus
• 8% employer pension
• Private healthcare (single cover)
• High-visibility role with influence across 20+ manufacturing sites
• Opportunity to build a function from scratch and shape long-term estates strategy
