About the role
As Facilities and Compliance Officer, you will take ownership of the Estates compliance programme, ensuring that statutory inspections, planned maintenance activities and compliance records are effectively managed and maintained.
This is a varied role that combines compliance coordination, contractor management, stakeholder engagement and operational oversight. You'll work closely with internal teams, service partners and specialist contractors to ensure maintenance and compliance activities are delivered on time, risks are identified and addressed, and robust evidence is available to support audits and assurance activities.
You'll be responsible for maintaining compliance records and tracking remedial actions, while providing clear reporting and escalation of any risks, overdue activities or compliance concerns. Your work will help ensure our buildings, infrastructure and services remain safe, legally compliant and operationally effective.
Key responsibilities
- Maintain and manage the Estates compliance framework, including compliance schedules, asset records, statutory certificates and supporting documentation.
- Coordinate planned preventative maintenance and statutory inspections across the estate.
- Monitor compliance requirements relating to areas such as fire safety, asbestos management, water hygiene, electrical and gas safety, lifting equipment and pressure systems.
- Track defects, audit findings and remedial actions, ensuring issues are assigned, monitored and brought to completion.
- Manage nominated hard and soft services contracts, monitoring performance against safety, service, quality and value-for-money expectations.
- Support contractor control processes, including review of competencies, insurance, risk assessments, permits and safe systems of work.
- Work collaboratively with internal stakeholders, contractors and specialist service providers to coordinate compliance and maintenance activities.
- Carry out or support compliance inspections and site-based checks, ensuring corrective actions are completed and evidenced.
- Produce regular compliance reports, highlighting performance, risks, overdue actions and areas requiring management attention.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of Estates systems, processes, record management and compliance reporting.
