ABOUT US

PLATF9RM and Freedom Works Group together form the largest independent co-working network in the South of England. With eleven thriving spaces (and more on the way), we support a growing community of over five thousand members. Our spaces are designed to be welcoming, well-run and inspiring places to work.
We’re in an exciting period of growth, making this the perfect time to join us in a pivotal operational role. We’re now recruiting for an experienced and hands-on Facilities Manager to oversee all aspects of site maintenance, health and safety, and facilities operations across our estate.

You’ll be responsible for managing day-to-day issues through our facilities ticketing system, as well as planning and delivering preventative maintenance, compliance checks, and improvement projects.
You’ll work closely with contractors, Community Managers and the wider Ops team to ensure our spaces remain safe, functional, and a pleasure to work in. From minor repairs to major upgrades, you’ll make sure everything runs smoothly and safely.
