Build Something Bigger.

Most management jobs ask you to maintain what's already there.

We're offering the chance to build the future of an entire department.

Taylored Facilities Management Ltd is one of the North West's fastest-growing independent Facilities Management companies. With over 45 years of trading history and an expanding portfolio of commercial clients, we're looking for an exceptional leader to take ownership of our Plumbing, Gas & Drainage division.

This isn't just another management position.

You'll become part of our senior leadership team, helping shape the direction of the business as we continue our ambitious growth plans.

If you're an experienced Plumbing, Gas or Mechanical Manager who's looking for more responsibility, greater autonomy and the opportunity to genuinely make your mark, we'd love to hear from you.

We're proud of our reputation for quality, honesty and looking after both our clients and our people.
