Job Description
Operations Manager
Cawdor Barracks | Permanent | Full-time
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Operations Manager to lead the delivery of maintenance, response works, and small-scale projects across a large, secure estate. The role is fully site-based and requires strong leadership, technical knowledge, and commercial awareness to ensure services are delivered safely, compliantly, and efficiently. The Operations Manager will oversee all aspects of maintenance delivery, ensuring compliance with statutory legislation, MoD requirements, and Health and Safety standards. You will manage the day-to-day performance of engineers, contractors, and suppliers, ensuring that all operatives are qualified, properly resourced, and working safely at all times. This includes coordinating and reviewing risk assessments and method statements, maintaining accurate documentation within the CAFM system, and ensuring that works are logged, tracked, and reported in line with contractual and auditing requirements. The position carries technical accountability for compliance areas such as asbestos and legionella management, and will involve close coordination with Authorised Persons to ensure safe systems of work for confined spaces and working at height. You will also manage a range of small mechanical, electrical, and building projects, taking full responsibility from planning and procurement through to completion, handover, and reporting. You will act as the main operational contact for site users and stakeholders, providing clear technical advice, resolving issues promptly, and ensuring that operational priorities are fully supported. Strong leadership is essential, as you will direct and motivate site teams, oversee subcontractor performance, and promote a culture of safety, accountability, and continuous improvement. The role also requires sound commercial judgement and cost control. You will make informed decisions that balance service delivery with value for money, support forward planning of maintenance activities, and contribute to risk mitigation and performance improvement across the contract.
