Are you a hands-on Facilities Manager who thrives in a practical environment and enjoys rolling up your sleeves to make things happen?

Our client, a creative and collaborative organisation based in London, is seeking an experienced and proactive Facilities Manager to take full ownership of their workplace operations — with a key focus on supporting an upcoming relocation to a newly designed office space.

In this exciting and varied role, you’ll be instrumental in managing the day-to-day facilities function, driving Health & Safety compliance, overseeing office maintenance, and playing a central role in the planning and smooth delivery of the office move.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the practical and logistical aspects of an office relocation, working closely with internal stakeholders and external contractors.

• Oversee and continually improve facilities operations across the entire workspace, including front-of-house, meeting rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces.

• Ensure full compliance with Health & Safety legislation, including risk assessments, fire safety procedures, DSE, PAT testing, and emergency planning.

• Work directly with a Facilities Coordinator to manage daily issues and plan ahead for improvements and operational needs.

• Maintain excellent relationships with the landlord and other building users, ensuring seamless communication and issue resolution.

• Provide practical maintenance support as needed — from painting and plumbing to moving furniture and hands-on repairs.

• Ensure high standards of cleanliness, security, and sustainability throughout the office environment.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in a similar Facilities Manager role in an office-based environment.

• A practical, ‘can-do’ attitude with the confidence to handle physical maintenance tasks and emergency situations.

• Strong working knowledge of Health & Safety regulations — a relevant qualification (NEBOSH/IOSH) is highly desirable.

• Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively with leadership, admin teams, and external partners.

• Experience supporting or leading an office move is a major advantage.

• Previous exposure to creative environments such as architecture, design, or media is welcome but not essential.

Why This Role?

• You’ll take full ownership of a vital function in a friendly, inclusive and down-to-earth workplace.

• Your input will directly shape the smooth running of a dynamic new office space.

• You’ll work closely with senior leadership and be a visible, valued member of the team.

• This is a hands-on role with real variety — ideal for someone who enjoys combining practical work with strategic oversight.
