Are you a highly organised problem solver who thrives on making things run smoothly behind the scenes? Do you enjoy coordinating people, processes, systems, and suppliers while driving continuous improvement? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

We are looking for a proactive Facilities Support Coordinator to play a pivotal role in supporting the day-to-day operations of a busy engineering environment.

Working closely with Facilities, HSE, Finance, IT, and external service providers, you'll be at the centre of coordinating critical activities, managing contractor relationships, supporting site compliance, developing innovative reporting solutions, and driving the digitalisation of key processes. From Power BI dashboards and workflow automation to contractor planning and stakeholder engagement, you'll have the opportunity to make a visible impact across the organisation.

If you're someone who enjoys taking ownership, improving processes, building strong stakeholder relationships, and helping create a safer, smarter, and more efficient workplace, we'd love to hear from you.
