Head of FM London (Newcastle or Manchester considered) £90,000 - £110,000 plus bonus, car allowance and share schemes First things first: this is a resident-facing role before it's anything else. You're taking on two Facilities Management teams with opposite problems and turning them into a single function that's genuinely engaged with the people living in these buildings, not reacting to issues from behind a desk. If you want a quiet technical brief and a team that already works the way you'd like, this isn't it. A national UK residential property business is hiring a Head of FM to lead its Facilities Management function across a large, multi-region portfolio spanning Build to Rent, PRS and long-held residential assets. It's two jobs held together by one person, and the FM half is where you'll spend most of your time. Facilities Management You own the strategy, the operating model and the service standards nationally, leading a dispersed team of FM professionals. FM strategy, operating model and service standards, with resident experience as the yardstick Planned preventative and reactive maintenance Procurement, contract management and supplier performance Utilities, energy management and heat networks Mobilisation of new developments into management Input into annual budget planning and service charges - FM is one of the largest areas of operational spend The bit that will actually decide whether you succeed The technical side of this function works. The teams know their jobs. What the business needs is someone who can change how those teams operate - and get both of them genuinely focused on the residents living in these buildings, not just the buildings themselves. The two halves of the estate need opposite things from you. One team has been through significant turnover. It's been rebuilt once and turned over again. Nobody is entirely sure why. Diagnosing that honestly and building stability is priority one. The other is stable, experienced and long-established - and more traditional in how it works. Moving it towards a different operating model will take patience and credibility, not authority. FM currently runs at arm's length from the buildings, and from the residents in them, while other teams are on site every day. Getting FM out of the office, visible in the buildings and building real relationships with residents is a stated priority - this is as much about resident experience as it is about the assets. Whoever gets this right will be judged as much on how residents feel about the service as on the compliance paperwork behind it. You'll also lead a mix of projects alongside the day job - regeneration works, ESG initiatives and building improvement programmes. Building & Fire Safety The statutory side is in good shape. The Building Safety Act machinery - Safety Cases, Golden Thread, registration, Mandatory Occurrence Reporting, Building Assessment Certificates, Resident Engagement - is already in place and audited, and it's the same story with the Fire Safety Order. You'll keep it on track, working alongside an existing building safety team, rather than building it from a standing start. That said, you'll be the named senior operational contact for the Building Safety Regulator, so genuine comfort with the subject matters - you just won't be starting from zero. The honest bit: this is a senior, regulator-facing role, but the majority of it is people and operations. If you're drawn here purely for the Building Safety Act side, it may not give you what you're looking for. What they're looking for FM leadership across a large, dispersed portfolio. Residential is the obvious fit - BTR, PRS, student or social housing - but strong operational environments transfer well. Maintenance and FM providers, hospitality and leisure estates all count. The current postholder came from a holiday park operator and has done the job well. Real experience of resident or customer-facing service - you know what good looks like from the resident's side, not just the operational side, and you can get a team to care about that as much as you do. This is a priority, not a nice-to-have. A track record of stabilising an unsettled team, or shifting an established one to a new way of working - this matters as much as anything else in this brief Influencing and relationship-building across teams you don't manage Strategic input into procurement and annual budget planning, working alongside a procurement function A self-starter. Your manager has seven direct reports, is based in Newcastle and is hands-off by default. Nobody will be checking your diary. Working knowledge of statutory building and fire safety compliance, with a genuine appetite to build on it - direct Higher Risk Building or Building Safety Regulator experience is a strong plus but not assumed on day one The details London preferred; Newcastle or Manchester considered. £90,000 - £110,000 plus bonus, car allowance, SAYE, Share Incentive Plan and a deferred bonus scheme. National travel across the portfolio is part of the job. IOSH, NEBOSH or equivalent is essential. Level 6 Building Safety Management, CABE, NEBOSH Fire, IFE, MRICS, MIWFM, MIFireE or CMIOSH are all welcome, but none of them replace having done the work. The process runs to three stages, including a presentation. The business is moving quickly - there is a leadership gap from mid-October, so this is not a slow-burn hire. Applications are handled confidentially. The employer is named at first conversation.

Senior Architect High Speed Two Washwood Heath Depot High Speed Two Ltd Direct Client Side Employment Salary: £60,000 to £65,514 + 12% Pension + Healthcare + 25 Days Holiday Location: Birmingham Snow Hill 3 days office/site, 2 days home Programme: HS2 Washwood Heath Depot £858m Programme Length: 8 to 10 Years Reports to: Project Based Lead Architect Next Step: Lead Architect £85,000 to £92,400 + Package Help Deliver One of the UK's Most Important Railway Facilities Are you an architect looking to move beyond traditional architectural practice and play a key role in the delivery of one of the UK's most significant transportation projects? High Speed Two Ltd is looking for a Senior Architect to join the Engineering Team responsible for the delivery of the £858m Washwood Heath Depot in Birmingham. Washwood Heath will become a critical part of the HS2 railway, supporting the maintenance, operation, testing and stabling of the future high speed fleet. It is an engineering led facility with highly complex operational requirements, but architectural quality remains a key part of the ambition for the scheme. The project is being developed around a 120 year design life, creating an opportunity to work on an asset that will form part of the UK's transport infrastructure for generations. This is a delivery focused architectural role. The concept design has already been established by the main contractor's architectural team at AECOM, so you will not be starting with a blank sheet of paper. Instead, your role will be to help protect, develop and deliver the architectural vision through detailed design, engineering coordination and construction. Architecture at the Heart of Engineering You will be embedded within the Washwood Heath Engineering Team, reporting to the Project Based Lead Architect and working alongside a large multidisciplinary team including civil, structural, MEP, BMS, rail systems, environmental and project delivery specialists. Your role will be to work closely with these teams to ensure the developing design continues to deliver the architectural vision, quality and aspirations of the scheme, while meeting the complex engineering and operational requirements of a major railway facility throughout the full lifecycle of the project, from design and construction through to testing, commissioning and operation. The original planning permission for the scheme has been granted, but changes are now being developed to future proof the depot for future generations of HS2 trains. This means a new planning submission will be required, providing further opportunity to influence how the evolving design is developed and delivered. If you are an architect who relishes working in a highly multidisciplinary engineering and project delivery environment, where you can learn from experienced engineers and specialists, this could be an excellent opportunity. If, however, you are looking for a role primarily focused on concept design within a traditional architectural environment, this is probably not the role for you. This is about seeing architecture through delivery and understanding how design, engineering, construction and railway operations come together. The Washwood Heath Depot Facilities The £858m Washwood Heath facility will provide a major operational and engineering hub for HS2, incorporating: Rolling stock maintenance facilities Stabling facilities Cleaners' and drivers' facilities Offices and staff welfare accommodation A national control centre Rail systems and supporting infrastructure External works, access and landscaping The facility will ultimately integrate into the operational HS2 railway, meaning the architecture must respond to demanding engineering, operational, construction, maintenance, sustainability and long term asset requirements. At the same time, the ambition is for Washwood Heath to be a high quality and architecturally aspirational environment, rather than simply a collection of functional railway buildings. What You Will Do Working with the Project Based Lead Architect, you will help ensure the architectural vision is maintained as the project moves through delivery. Key responsibilities include: Act as a custodian of the architectural vision through detailed design, construction, testing and commissioning. Review and challenge contractor and consultant proposals to ensure they meet HS2 requirements and the design aspirations of the scheme. Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to resolve architectural and technical interfaces. Provide architectural input into the evolving design and future proofing of the depot, including the new planning submission. Ensure architectural requirements remain coordinated, buildable and aligned with railway operational requirements. Support design reviews, planning conditions, technical assurance and project approvals. Identify architectural risks and opportunities and work with delivery teams to maintain quality alongside technical, operational and programme requirements. Provide architectural input where changes to design, construction or engineering proposals could affect the overall design quality. About You We are looking for a qualified architect with strong design and delivery experience who wants to develop their career within major infrastructure. You could currently be working as a Senior Architect, Project Architect, Transport Architect, Design Architect or Architectural Lead within architectural practice, consultancy or a client organisation. A transportation background would be particularly attractive, although direct rail experience is not essential. Relevant experience could include: Rail and railway stations Depots Airports Transportation hubs Highways and major infrastructure Tram and light rail Other complex operational buildings You will ideally have experience of working within a multidisciplinary environment where architectural design has to respond to complex engineering, operational and technical requirements. You will need to be comfortable working alongside engineers, contractors and specialist consultants, reviewing detailed design and challenging proposals where necessary. Professional architectural qualification and ARB registration are essential, with RIBA membership advantageous. Experience within a Design and Build environment, where the contractor holds design responsibility and the client provides oversight and assurance, would be particularly useful. A Major Project With a Long Term Career Ahead The Washwood Heath Depot is an 8-to-10-year programme, giving you the opportunity to build substantial experience on a nationally important transportation project. More importantly, you will be joining High Speed Two Ltd directly, with the wider HS2 programme continuing through to 2039. As your experience develops, there is potential to move into future architectural and design leadership roles across the wider programme, including major stations, railway systems and other infrastructure assets. The immediate progression route is to Lead Architect, with the next level paying approximately £85,000 to £92,400 + package. This makes the role particularly attractive for an ambitious architect who wants to move into senior infrastructure and transportation leadership. Why This Opportunity? This is a chance to make your name on a £858m nationally important railway facility, while developing your architectural career within one of the UK's largest infrastructure programmes. You will work at the point where architecture, engineering and railway operations come together, surrounded by specialists who can significantly broaden your technical and delivery experience. You will see the project develop from an established architectural concept through detailed design and construction, ultimately becoming a functioning railway facility designed to serve for 120 years. If you want to be an architect who does more than develop concepts and instead wants to see major infrastructure actually delivered, this is a rare opportunity to do it from the client side with High Speed Two.

Your role will be to work closely with these teams to ensure the developing design continues to deliver the architectural vision, quality and aspirations of the scheme, while meeting the complex engineering and operational requirements of a major railway facility throughout the full lifecycle of the project, from design and construction through to testing, commissioning and operation. The original planning permission for the scheme has been granted, but changes are now being developed to future proof the depot for future generations of HS2 trains. This means a new planning submission will be required, providing further opportunity to influence how the evolving design is developed and delivered. If you are an architect who relishes working in a highly multidisciplinary engineering and project delivery environment, where you can learn from experienced engineers and specialists, this could be an excellent opportunity. If, however, you are looking for a role primarily focused on concept design within a traditional architectural environment, this is probably not the role for you. This is about seeing architecture through delivery and understanding how design, engineering, construction and railway operations come together. The Washwood Heath Depot Facilities The £858m Washwood Heath facility will provide a major operational and engineering hub for HS2, incorporating: Rolling stock maintenance facilities Stabling facilities Cleaners' and drivers' facilities Offices and staff welfare accommodation A national control centre Rail systems and supporting infrastructure External works, access and landscaping The facility will ultimately integrate into the operational HS2 railway, meaning the architecture must respond to demanding engineering, operational, construction, maintenance, sustainability and long term asset requirements. At the same time, the ambition is for Washwood Heath to be a high quality and architecturally aspirational environment, rather than simply a collection of functional railway buildings. What You Will Do Working with the Project Based Lead Architect, you will help ensure the architectural vision is maintained as the project moves through delivery. Key responsibilities include: Act as a custodian of the architectural vision through detailed design, construction, testing and commissioning. Review and challenge contractor and consultant proposals to ensure they meet HS2 requirements and the design aspirations of the scheme. Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to resolve architectural and technical interfaces. Provide architectural input into the evolving design and future proofing of the depot, including the new planning submission. Ensure architectural requirements remain coordinated, buildable and aligned with railway operational requirements. Support design reviews, planning conditions, technical assurance and project approvals. Identify architectural risks and opportunities and work with delivery teams to maintain quality alongside technical, operational and programme requirements. Provide architectural input where changes to design, construction or engineering proposals could affect the overall design quality. About You We are looking for a qualified architect with strong design and delivery experience who wants to develop their career within major infrastructure. You could currently be working as a Senior Architect, Project Architect, Transport Architect, Design Architect or Architectural Lead within architectural practice, consultancy or a client organisation. A transportation background would be particularly attractive, although direct rail experience is not essential. Relevant experience could include: Rail and railway stations Depots Airports Transportation hubs Highways and major infrastructure Tram and light rail Other complex operational buildings You will ideally have experience of working within a multidisciplinary environment where architectural design has to respond to complex engineering, operational and technical requirements. You will need to be comfortable working alongside engineers, contractors and specialist consultants, reviewing detailed design and challenging proposals where necessary. Professional architectural qualification and ARB registration are essential, with RIBA membership advantageous. Experience within a Design and Build environment, where the contractor holds design responsibility and the client provides oversight and assurance, would be particularly useful. A Major Project With a Long Term Career Ahead The Washwood Heath Depot is an 8-to-10-year programme, giving you the opportunity to build substantial experience on a nationally important transportation project. More importantly, you will be joining High Speed Two Ltd directly, with the wider HS2 programme continuing through to 2039. As your experience develops, there is potential to move into future architectural and design leadership roles across the wider programme, including major stations, railway systems and other infrastructure assets. The immediate progression route is to Lead Architect, with the next level paying approximately £85,000 to £92,400 + package. This makes the role particularly attractive for an ambitious architect who wants to move into senior infrastructure and transportation leadership. Why This Opportunity? This is a chance to make your name on a £858m nationally important railway facility, while developing your architectural career within one of the UK's largest infrastructure programmes. You will work at the point where architecture, engineering and railway operations come together, surrounded by specialists who can significantly broaden your technical and delivery experience. You will see the project develop from an established architectural concept through detailed design and construction, ultimately becoming a functioning railway facility designed to serve for 120 years. If you want to be an architect who does more than develop concepts and instead wants to see major infrastructure actually delivered, this is a rare opportunity to do it from the client side with High Speed Two.
