About the Role
Cobalt Recruitment is delighted to be representing a growing and well-capitalised residential property operator in the appointment of a Regional Facilities Manager, overseeing a portfolio of assets across Luton, Cambridge, and Northamptonshire.

This role combines operational oversight with contractor and stakeholder management, with responsibility for planned and reactive maintenance, statutory compliance, and the ongoing performance of facilities services across the region. The Regional Facilities Manager will work closely with site-based teams and senior leadership to support service charge budgeting, lead or assist with FM tender processes, and drive continuous improvements in service delivery, asset performance, and customer experience.
