Regional Facilities Manager
Meet Our Recruiter
About the Role
Cobalt Recruitment is pleased to be partnering with a well-established property and facilities management organisation on the appointment of a Regional Facilities Manager for a 14-month fixed term contract. The role will take responsibility for a varied portfolio of 13-17 managed assets across North London, West London, and Berkshire, offering broad operational exposure and a high degree of autonomy within a supportive, well-resourced management structure. Due to the geographic spread of the portfolio, a full UK driving licence is essential.
This appointment presents a strong opportunity for a facilities professional seeking a clearly defined regional remit within a recognised real estate platform. The role provides day-to-day ownership of service delivery, contractor performance, and statutory compliance, alongside close collaboration with property management colleagues and occupiers. The client is open-minded on background and will consider candidates from both real estate and wider FM environments, as well as those stepping up into their first regional position where capability and commercial awareness can be demonstrated.
Key responsibilities including:
Deliver facilities management services across a defined multi-site portfolio in line with agreed specifications, KPIs, and SLAs.
Manage contractor performance, ensuring contractual compliance and adherence to statutory health & safety requirements.
Oversee health & safety management, including RAMS, permits to work, and compliance monitoring across all sites.
Undertake regular property inspections, instruct remedial works, and maintain accurate inspection reporting.
Assist with the preparation, management, and reconciliation of service charge budgets, monitoring expenditure throughout the year.
Liaise with occupiers and internal property management teams, attending occupier and client meetings as required.
Support the operational management of occupier fit-out works in collaboration with internal stakeholders.
Review, tender, and procure service contracts to ensure value for money and policy compliance.
Authorise supplier invoices in line with delegated authority levels and internal controls.
Maintain accurate records across CAFM and health & safety systems, ensuring performance targets are met.
As the successful applicant, you'll have proven experience in Total FM, ideally within a real estate or managing agent environment, although those from outside property will be considered if they can demonstrate strong total FM exposure, sound health & safety knowledge, and experience managing multiple sites.
IOSH is required, with NEBOSH being advantageous. The client will also consider strong single-site Building Managers from a real estate background or capable Assistant Facilities Managers looking to step up into a regional role. A full UK driving licence is essential.
