Facilities and Building Services Assistant

Interviews for this role will take place 2nd & 3rd November. About The Role We have a great opportunity for someone to join our Facilities team and play a key role in creating a safe, efficient, and enjoyable workplace for our colleagues. We’re responsible for the day to day running of our main offices, grounds, and car parks, covering everything from building services and office management to maintenance and investment. Our goal is to ensure a great workplace experience in a secure and well-maintained environment.

We’re now looking for a Facilities and Building Services Assistant to join us at our office in Pity Me, Durham . While this role is primarily based in Durham, you’ll also have the opportunity to visit other sites across the northeast, working closely with our internal customers and framework contractors. If you’re ready to be part of a team that keeps our offices running smoothly and efficiently, we’d love to hear from you.

About You The successful candidate will be a proactive problem-solver with great communication skills. We’re looking for someone who can take charge of a variety of help desk requests, using their initiative to resolve issues efficiently while keeping our internal customers and corporate systems updated every step of the way. Tracking costs and maintaining accurate records will also be a key part of your role.

Collaboration is essential, as you'll work closely with our framework contractors and suppliers to ensure our offices and assets remain fully compliant with internal procedures and legislation. Keeping our workplaces safe and well-maintained is at the heart of what we do, and we need someone who shares our commitment to high standards.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, can work independently, and adapt quickly to shifting priorities, this could be the perfect role for you. Strong Excel skills, including confidence with pivot tables, will be important, as well as the ability to manage your workload effectively. A full and valid manual driving licence is also required, as you’ll need to drive our pool cars to different sites when needed.
