Regional Facilities Manager

We're working with a respected agricultural business to recruit a Regional Facilities Manager to oversee a varied property portfolio across the Eastern side of England. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working independently, managing multiple sites, and making a real impact on operational efficiency and compliance.

In this role, you'll be responsible for the repair, maintenance, and long-term planning of poultry farms, hatcheries, and other operational assets. You'll work closely with site teams to ensure facilities are safe, compliant, and fit for purpose - whether that's responding quickly to urgent repairs or planning refurbishments years in advance.

You'll manage operational and capital budgets, ensuring value for money through competitive tendering and strong supplier relationships. Cost control and financial reporting will be key parts of your role, alongside maintaining clear communication with operational teams about priorities, progress, and constraints.

Compliance is central to the role. You'll ensure all works meet health and safety standards and relevant legislation, including electrical testing, asbestos management, and broader property regulations. You'll also contribute to longer-term estate planning, helping shape the future of the property portfolio.

What You'll Be Doing

• Overseeing the repair and maintenance of farms, hatcheries, and other operational sites to ensure they remain fit-for-purpose and compliant.
• Managing budgets and procurement processes, ensuring best value through competitive tendering and supplier relationships.
• Responding to emergency repairs quickly and effectively to protect animal welfare and minimise disruption.
• Planning and delivering longer-term refurbishment and enhancement programmes in collaboration with senior teams.
• Ensuring all works meet health and safety and legislative requirements, with accurate records maintained.

What We're Looking For

• Experience managing multi-site property estates, ideally within agriculture or rural environments.
• Strong understanding of compliance, health and safety, and building regulations.
• Confident budget manager with excellent organisational and negotiation skills.
• A proactive and flexible approach, with the ability to travel across the East of England.
• Background in building or quantity surveying, project management, or facilities management.
• Experience in property or estate management.

The package

• Competitive Salary
• Car Allowance
• Life assurance - 3 x Salary
• Sick pay
• Private Medical

If you're looking for a role where you can take ownership, work with autonomy, and support the smooth running of agricultural operations, we'd love to hear from you
