Hire a Facilities Manager

Facilities Management Overview

A Facilities Manager is the strategic professional who ensures your physical workspace supports rather than hinders business operations, managing everything from building maintenance and health and safety compliance to space planning and vendor relationships.

They create environments where employees can work effectively, visitors feel welcomed, and every aspect of your physical operations runs seamlessly.

Great Facilities Managers don’t just maintain buildings. They enhance how spaces work for the people using them, solve complex logistical challenges efficiently, and create the reliable physical infrastructure that lets everyone else focus on their actual work.

When to Consider Hiring a Facilities Manager?

If your office is constantly dealing with maintenance issues that disrupt productivity, or if managing your physical space is taking time away from running your actual business, it’s time to bring in a Facilities Manager.

Perhaps you’re growing and your current space needs reconfiguration, health and safety compliance feels overwhelming, or you’re juggling multiple vendor relationships without proper oversight.

The right Facilities Manager won’t just react to problems. They’ll create systems that prevent issues, optimise your workspace investment, and ensure your physical environment actively supports business performance. Whether you need someone to manage day-to-day operations, oversee major projects, or ensure your facilities run efficiently and compliantly, a skilled Facilities Manager transforms workplace management from a constant headache into a competitive advantage.

Facilities Management
Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Facilities Manager do?

A Facilities Manager oversees all aspects of building and workspace operations – managing maintenance, coordinating contractors, ensuring health and safety compliance, handling space planning, overseeing security systems, managing budgets, and ensuring the physical environment supports business operations effectively. They’re responsible for keeping your workplace functional, safe, compliant, and optimised for how your business actually works.

Do I need a Facilities Manager, or can someone else handle it?

If facilities issues are consuming significant time, impacting operations, or you’re concerned about compliance risks, you need dedicated facilities management. While smaller companies might manage with office managers handling basic facilities tasks, dedicated Facilities Managers become essential when you have complex building systems, strict compliance requirements, or facilities operations that require professional technical knowledge and vendor management.

What’s the difference between a Facilities Manager and a Building Manager?

While there’s overlap, Facilities Managers typically focus on how spaces support business operations, managing services, vendors, and workplace experience alongside building maintenance. Building Managers often focus more specifically on physical building systems, maintenance, and property management.

Why use a facilities management recruitment agency?

A facilities management recruitment agency (like Biscuit) specialises in understanding the unique blend of technical knowledge, compliance expertise, and operational skills that exceptional Facilities Managers require. We know the difference between someone who can maintain buildings and someone who can strategically optimise workspace operations.
