Job Introduction

We’re looking for a highly capable and forward-thinking Automation and Facilities Manager to lead the 24/7 Automation and Facilities function at our Axis Distribution Centre and Head Office in Liverpool. This is a key leadership role with wide-reaching responsibility, reporting to the Head of Automation & Engineering and overseeing a large team supporting automation performance, facilities standards, and operational continuity.

You will be responsible for delivering a proactive, high-performing engineering and facilities function that ensures all infrastructure, cleaning, automation systems, and maintenance activities run safely, efficiently, and to standard. Working collaboratively with internal teams and third-party providers, you will take ownership of strategic planning, resource allocation, continuous improvement, and full compliance with HSE and regulatory requirements.

This is an exciting opportunity for a senior professional with the experience, technical knowledge, and leadership capability to shape automation and facilities performance in a modern, fast-paced, and technology-driven logistics environment.

Job Overview

Transition the department from reactive to proactive maintenance, managing PPM schedules and ensuring compliance through CMMS and CAFM systems.
Facilities Management
Oversee cleaning, infrastructure, utilities, and site-wide services to support business continuity and statutory compliance, while leading emergency response planning and environmental controls.
Automation Systems Management
Monitor automation asset lifecycle, plan upgrades, and coordinate technical support to optimise uptime and system reliability.
Health & Safety Compliance
Champion health, safety, and environmental best practice, ensure SOPs are implemented, and drive adherence to legislative and internal standards.
Stakeholder & Contractor Engagement
Manage relationships with third-party suppliers and collaborate across departments including Procurement, Property, PMO, and Operations.
Strategic Reporting & Decision Making
Track KPIs, report on performance, make informed decisions on resource deployment, and lead projects that drive engineering and operational excellence.
Procurement & Budget Ownership
Manage the £5M+ annual spend across Opex, labour, and service support. Oversee procurement processes to maintain critical stock and materials availability.

Proven leadership of multi-skilled Engineering and Facilities teams within a warehouse or FMCG environment.
Strong working knowledge of automation systems (SCADA, PLC), infrastructure, and facilities operations.
Experience with CMMS, CAFM, and BMS tools and software.
IOSH/NEBOSH or equivalent Health & Safety qualification.
Deep understanding of UK building compliance, environmental laws, and safety regulations.
