Coventry Rugby is looking to appoint a proactive and highly organised Facilities Manager to join the team at the Nick Newbold Stadium.

This is a hands-on, varied role at the heart of the club's operations, overseeing the day-to-day running, maintenance, safety and continuous improvement of our stadium and associated facilities. The successful candidate will play a key part in making sure our home is safe, compliant and fit for players, staff, supporters, partners and visitors alike - on matchdays and throughout the rest of the club's busy events calendar.

Reporting to the Operations Manager, the Facilities Manager will take ownership of building maintenance, health and safety compliance, contractor management, and support for the wide range of conferences, functions and community events hosted at the stadium.

About the Role

The Facilities Manager will be responsible for:

  • Building maintenance and operations - overseeing reactive and planned preventative maintenance, building systems, and site inspections across the stadium.

  • Health and safety compliance - ensuring the club meets UK health and safety legislation, with particular focus on stadium and matchday safety, fire procedures and statutory inspections.

  • Events and venue hire - supporting the delivery of conferences, weddings, exhibitions and community events, working closely with the events team to ensure the venue is always presented to a professional standard.

  • Contractor and supplier management - coordinating external contractors, monitoring performance and ensuring value for money.

  • Projects and continuous improvement - supporting refurbishment projects and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and sustainability across the site.

  • Budget management and reporting - monitoring facilities expenditure and reporting on operational performance to senior leadership.

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking someone with previous experience in a Facilities Manager or similar operational role, a strong understanding of building maintenance and UK health and safety compliance, and the organisational skills to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. Experience within a sports, leisure, hospitality or events setting, along with an IOSH or NEBOSH qualification, would be an advantage.

This role requires a flexible approach, including evenings, weekends, bank holidays and attendance at all home fixtures and selected events.

How to Apply

This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role within a proud and ambitious rugby club, working across a varied and rewarding operational environment with a competitive salary based on experience.

To apply, please submit your CV and covering letter outlining your suitability for the role by 13th July to:
