About the role:
Our Support Services are always on hand to offer advice and guidance to colleagues across our business. Our Property team are a part of this and now, we're seeking a Facilities Compliance Specialist to join our team.
As our Facilities Compliance Specialist, you’ll play a crucial role in setting and maintaining technical standards across the business to ensure we meet all statutory requirements and best practice guidelines. Working closely with our front-end delivery teams, you will support them in adhering to compliance standards and fulfilling all asset Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) and statutory obligations. You will be responsible for monitoring and documenting compliance activities, rolling out technical standards across the Society, and completing audits to ensure ongoing adherence.
Also, you’ll keep up-to-date with the latest legislation and guidance to ensure our operations stay compliant, and you’ll provide detailed reports and data insights to help drive operational improvements. You’ll work closely with the Group Property Management Manager, Facilities Manager, and Health and Safety teams to create a cohesive, safe and compliant environment across all locations. Additional responsibilities include supporting the completion of Fire Risk Assessments, overseeing Legionella checks, managing relationships with contractors, approving supplier invoices and ensuring statutory compliance tasks are recorded and completed on time. You will also provide out-of-hours support during emergencies.
If you are highly organised, proactive, and detail-oriented, this role offers a great opportunity to make a tangible impact on our compliance and operational standards.
About You:
We’re looking for a skilled Facilities Compliance Specialist who holds a minimum IFWM Level 3 qualification and has previous experience in a similar role. Your proficiency in Office 365, alongside strong literacy and numeracy skills, will be essential as you handle reporting and technical documentation. Ideally, you have a good understanding of Lincolnshire Co-op and our Co-operative values, and you are eager to uphold these in your day-to-day activities.
To succeed in this role, you’ll demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills and professionalism, with the confidence to communicate effectively across all levels. You are proactive, enthusiastic, and comfortable working independently, but you are equally willing to lend a hand to support local stores when required. As part of your ongoing development, you will be committed to completing relevant courses, such as IOSH Working Safely.
A full driving licence and access to a vehicle for business use are essential, as you’ll need to travel between sites. If you have a commitment to high standards, a collaborative approach, and a keen eye for compliance, we’d love to hear from you.
Benefits:
In addition to working for a successful co-operative business, we offer our colleagues fantastic benefits, including:
* 30 days annual leave (including bank holidays) (pro-rata)
* Pension scheme (with up to 12% employer contributions)
* Generous colleague discount rates across our family of businesses
We are an “Investors in People - Platinum” employer, meaning that we have been recognised as one of the country’s top employers, offering progression opportunities to all our colleagues. As your confidence grows, you’ll have the opportunity to build the skills necessary to further progress your career and help to open up future opportunities. Whether you’re thinking of a future with us or looking to develop your skills with a community-focused business, we’ll work together with you to shape your career for the better.
