Jackson Hogg is delighted to be supporting our client in the recruitment of a Site Services Manager for a brand-new manufacturing plant.

This is a rare opportunity to join a business at the very start of its journey. As Site Services Manager, you’ll take ownership of all on-site maintenance, service contracts, and facilities activities, ensuring the site remains safe, compliant, and running efficiently as operations scale up.

This is a hands-on, practical role where you’ll be the key link between contractors, site teams, and senior leadership, making sure everything from building maintenance to signage and security runs smoothly.

Key Responsibilities

*

Take ownership of site services and facilities across the new plant.

*

Manage and coordinate contracts for building maintenance, cleaning, security, and groundskeeping.

*

Plan and oversee maintenance visits, contractor permits, and site access.

*

Maintain and improve site infrastructure — including painting, signage, road markings, parking, fencing, drainage, and minor building modifications.

*

Ensure ongoing compliance with health, safety, environmental, and statutory requirements.

*

Liaise with highways, utilities, and local authorities where necessary (without owning those contracts).

*

Support small-scale projects such as office fit-outs, layout changes, and site improvements.

*

Promote a proactive safety and maintenance culture across the site.

*

Identify and deliver practical improvements to site efficiency, cost control, and sustainability.

Essential Skills & Experience

*

Experience in site services, facilities, or maintenance management within an industrial or manufacturing environment.

*

Strong understanding of building maintenance, contractor management, and compliance.

*

Excellent organisational and communication skills with a hands-on approach.

*

Proven ability to manage multiple contractors and service providers effectively.

*

IT literate, ideally with experience using maintenance or asset management systems.

Desirable

*

Experience in plant commissioning or new site start-ups.

*

NEBOSH, IOSH, or equivalent HSE qualification.

*

Exposure to sustainability, waste reduction, or energy efficiency initiatives.

What’s on Offer

*

£60,000 – £70,000 per annum, plus benefits.

*

Day-shift role with excellent work-life balance.

*

Opportunity to shape the site services function from the ground up.

*

A visible, hands-on role within a growing and ambitious organisation.

*

Genuine scope for professional growth as the site and wider business expand
