Operations Manager (Facilities & Infrastructure)

We are looking for a proactive, organised and people focused Operations Manager to support the smooth running of our School's facilities, space and infrastructure. This is a varied coordination role at the heart of School operations, working closely with colleagues, Estates, and building users to ensure our environments remain safe, functional, and well-utilised.

What you'll do

In this role, you will:

• Coordinate day-to-day facilities, space and building related activity across multiple School locations
• Act as an approachable and effective point of contact for Estates, contractors and School users
• Communicate clearly and proactively with staff and students, providing updates on works, changes and issues
• Maintain accurate statutory testing and compliance records, ensuring data is well organised and accessible
• Support space management and occupancy planning through good information gathering and user engagement
• Contribute to School and Faculty level committees, supporting process development and operational improvements
• Help manage Facilities budgets by monitoring spend, forecasting needs and preparing information for decision making.

This is not a technical estates role - instead, it is about coordination, communication, organisation and problem-solving, ensuring the right people have the right information at the right time.

This role would suit someone who:

• Communicates confidently and clearly with a wide range of people
• Builds positive working relationships and represents the School professionally
• Is organised, motivated and enjoys managing multiple activities
• Works proactively, using initiative to spot issues and keep things moving
• Is confident using data in Excel, SharePoint and digital tools to maintain clear records
• Has experience supporting building, facilities or wider operational processes, with the ability to spot and improve inefficient ways of working.

We welcome applicants looking to develop their operational career within a supportive and collaborative team.
