• 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.
