3-month contract (with strong potential to go permanent)
We’re delighted to be partnering with the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (RCSSD) on a key hire within their Estates team.
This is a pivotal, hands-on role at the heart of a dynamic and creative campus environment. You’ll take ownership of day-to-day estates and campus operations, playing a critical role in ensuring the estate runs efficiently, safely, and in line with high standards of service delivery.
This is not a “sit back and manage” role. You’ll be stepping into a fast-paced, highly visible position where you’ll need to be proactive, hands-on, and fully embedded in the team; someone who rolls up their sleeves and gets things done.
A major estate-wide survey has just been completed, and this will form your immediate focus. You’ll take this live document and translate it into a clear, deliverable maintenance and improvement plan, managing priorities across a diverse and complex campus (13,000 sqm).
Responsibilities
- Leading operational estates delivery across maintenance, compliance, contractors, and facilities
- Driving a Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) programme informed by real data and asset insights
- Managing health & safety, fire compliance, accessibility, and statutory reporting
- Overseeing contractors and performance against SLAs/KPIs
- Supporting delivery of maintenance-linked projects (e.g. access control, infrastructure upgrades)
- Managing estate data, CAD systems, and asset information to improve decision-making
- Contributing to space utilisation, sustainability, and carbon reduction initiatives
Qualifications / What we’re looking for
- Brings strong estates/facilities management experience in a complex environment
- Is hands-on and operationally excellent, not afraid to get into the detail
- Has a solid understanding of building systems (mechanical/electrical) and can spot issues early
- Is highly productive, outcomes-focused, and thrives in a busy, delivery-driven environment
- Has the attitude and ambition to grow with the role
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who wants to make a tangible impact in a respected and creative institution, with the chance to shape the role and secure something permanent.
If you’re ready to step into a role where attitude, ownership, and delivery really matter, we’d love to hear from you.
