About the role

We’re looking for a Facilities Maintenance Specialist to deliver facilities maintenance services across Lifeblood’s donor centres and processing centres, with a strong focus on vendor management, contract performance and service improvement. The role has a particular focus on soft services (cleaning, waste, pest), while also supporting and growing capability across hard services (HVAC, fire and electrical).

  • Engage in tender activities for renewal of existing contracts or establishment of new contracts
  • Act as a key escalation point for service issues, disputes and operational challenges
  • Partner with stakeholders across the business to ensure safe, compliant and fit‑for‑purpose facilities services
  • Identify and implement process improvements to modernise facilities management practices
  • Ensure compliance with quality, safety and regulatory requirements, including audit readiness

Sound interesting? Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Experience in facilities, asset or contract management across multi‑site environments
  • Strong background managing soft services (cleaning, waste, pest), with exposure to or interest in hard services (HVAC, fire, electrical)
  • Proven experience managing vendors and complex national contracts
  • Ability to influence and engage stakeholders across a broad, complex organisation
  • Experience leading procurement, tendering and contract lifecycle activities
  • Strong analytical capability with experience reviewing performance, reporting and driving improvements
  • Comfortable working in environments undergoing change and transformation
  • Strong communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills
