Health, Safety & Facilities Manager

Health, Safety & Facilities Manager
A Little About Ooni
There's nothing quite like a great slice of pizza. Unless you're offering 2 slices. 2 slices definitely wins.
Way back in 2012, we created a brand new outdoor cooking category with our first portable wood-fired pizza oven. Now, the Ooni lineup includes gas, electric and multi-fuel pizza ovens, as well as non-pizza oven cool stuff like our Halo Pro spiral mixer; all of which help you bake amazing Neapolitan pizza at home. We sell Ooni pizza ovens, accessories and groceries around the world and have an expanding (and amazing) global Ooni user community who love our products and use them to make epic pizza for friends and family.
A Little About the Role
At Ooni, we want to help everybody experience the joy of making great pizza. Our team helping us do so has grown hugely over the past few years and with them, so have our spaces and equipment. This is an exciting time for Ooni as we embark on setting even higher standards of excellence, and as a result, we're looking for a hands-on and adaptable Health, Safety & Facilities Manager to help us keep the good ship Ooni sailing smoothly.
This role is undeniably busy. About half of the job is focused on making sure that our workspaces are practically set up for the demands of our work and are kept running smoothly, with an eye for detail, quality and cost control in all of our facilities management. While you'll maintain a preferred supplier list for most work, we also take an attitude of "roll your sleeves up and problem solve" - so ideally you'll also be willing and able to jump in and design practical solutions by yourself where possible. You'll make sure all regular required inspections and services are carried out, equipment and materials on site are appropriately documented and stored and honestly, spend more time than anyone should be doing, battling with either the A/C, our access control systems or the hot water taps. The three seem to have some kind of secret alliance going on where they can never all be working at the same time.
While we aren't manufacturing on-site, we have a busy product office at Ooni Park in Broxburn, West Lothian, where our team are hands-on designing, prototyping, testing and demonstrating our ovens. Our ovens get HOT. They have sharp bits of metal involved, there's combustible gases, there's powered equipment, forklifts and all sorts of dangerous things floating around. The other side of this job is making sure that our teams have the right knowledge, tools and support to carry out their job in a safe way despite these dangers, and that everyone goes home with all of their fingers, toes and eyebrow hairs present and correct. The most discomfort anyone feels after a day of work should be from a too-tight waistband after going one slice too far at lunch.
While we know that life happens and you'll need days from time to time to work from home to balance that, or to focus on administrative work, we expect that the majority of your working time in this role (min. 4 days per week) will be spent onsite. Your normal place of work will be our site in Broxburn, West Lothian, but once per week or so we'll also need you to visit our office at Edinburgh Park.
What you'll do:

• Work closely with our office coordinators, workshop manager and other key roles to make sure that our global workspaces are highly functional, enabling and inclusive while ensuring a focus on practicality, safety and wellbeing
• Day-to-day building management of Ooni's UK properties, ensuring quality, presentation and functional standards are upheld
• Look after procurement, contractor management and cost control for building management, equipment purchasing and utilities
• Work with our Regenerative Business team to make our office spaces as sustainable and environmentally responsible as possible, as well as make progress on our ESOS commitments
• Plan, track, coordinate and/or carry out reactive and preventative maintenance and servicing
• Advise functional line managers on embedding Health & Safety into their teams' ways of working. You understand that this role needs a coach, not a player!
• Manage training programmes and introduce new initiatives as required
• Lead thorough accident investigations when necessary.

What you'll need to succeed:

• Demonstrable experience in building/facilities management
• Working knowledge of essential HSE regulations and best practices, particularly in workshop or warehousing environments
• The ability to be self-motivated and quickly prioritise tasks
• A superb juggler - able to manage reports from multiple different sources and keep tabs on a wide range of different projects at once
• You can work effectively with a wide range of people - keeping track of what information needs to be shared with both internal and external stakeholders and communicating in a reliable, effective and engaging way
• You thrive in varied environments where you'll be asked to turn your hand to a wide variety of tasks!

You'll get bonus points if:

• You hold a professional certification and/or membership of IOSH/ IIRSM /NEBOSH
• You've done the above in multi-site environments
• Have experience of advising on global site management
• You are a certified forklift or lifting equipment trainer.
