Maintain and improve site infrastructure — including painting, signage, road markings, parking, fencing, drainage, and minor building modifications.
*
Ensure ongoing compliance with health, safety, environmental, and statutory requirements.
*
Liaise with highways, utilities, and local authorities where necessary (without owning those contracts).
*
Support small-scale projects such as office fit-outs, layout changes, and site improvements.
*
Promote a proactive safety and maintenance culture across the site.
*
Identify and deliver practical improvements to site efficiency, cost control, and sustainability.

Strong understanding of building maintenance, contractor management, and compliance.
*
Excellent organisational and communication skills with a hands-on approach.

Experience in plant commissioning or new site start-ups.

What’s on Offer

£60,000 – £70,000 per annum, plus benefits.
*
Day-shift role with excellent work-life balance.

Opportunity to shape the site services function from the ground up.
