National Facilities Manager

Group Facilities Manager | Multi-Site Leisure Brand | UK-Wide

Candidates should take the time to read all the elements of this job advert carefully Please make your application promptly.

Solv Talent is commissioned to appoint a Group Facilities Manager for a fast-growing, premium, multi-site leisure business.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will take full ownership of a UK-wide estate - ensuring every site is safe, operational, and maintained to an exceptional standard.

This is not a desk-based role.

You’ll be on the ground. Fixing problems. Building systems. Driving standards. Enabling sustainable growth.

The Role

You’ll take full responsibility for the performance, condition, and longevity of all physical assets across the estate - from core infrastructure through to customer-facing environments.

Working closely with operational teams and contractors, you’ll:

• Own all reactive and planned maintenance across the estate
• Build and implement robust PPM systems
• Take control of supplier performance, cost, and quality
• Lead on new site handovers, snagging, and defect resolution
• Protect asset value and ensure sites operate without disruption

What Makes This Different

This is a business where:

• Standards matter
• Speed matters
• Ownership matters

You won’t be managing from behind a screen - you’ll be trusted to take control and make things happen.

We’re Looking For Someone Who Is:

• Proven in multi-site facilities or maintenance management
• Commercial, decisive, and highly organised
• Comfortable managing contractors and holding them to account
• Practical and hands-on - understands buildings and maintenance in the real world
• Happy travelling regularly and being on-site
• Someone who fixes problems and doesn’t let them drift

Backgrounds of Interest:

• Leisure / gyms
• Hospitality
• Retail
• Logistics / industrial
• Sports or multi-site operational environments

Success in This Role Looks Like:

• Minimal downtime across sites
• Well-maintained, premium environments
• Contractors delivering - not dictating
• Issues resolved quickly, not lingering
• Proactivity to resolve current and future facilities challenges
