Lead from the front. Make a difference every day on the Bee Network.

Are you a confident people leader who thrives in a fast-paced operational environment where no two days are the same? We're looking for an experienced Facilities Operations Manager to lead local teams, deliver exceptional customer service, and create a positive, high-performing culture across the interchanges in Greater Manchester.

This is a varied and rewarding role where you'll balance strategic priorities with real-time operational demands.

Much of the role is reactive, requiring you to think on your feet, adapt quickly to changing situations and make confident decisions under pressure. You'll support a diverse workforce through wellbeing conversations, return-to-work meetings and performance management, while creating a positive and inclusive culture where teams can thrive. With a strong focus on putting customers first, you'll lead by example, inspire high standards of customer service, build engaged and motivated teams, and act as a visible ambassador for the organisation's values in everything you do.

This is a full-time role working 37 hours per week. The role is primarily site-based, with standard working hours of 9:00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday, when not operating on the leadership rota. To support the operational requirements of the Bee Network, you'll also participate in a rotating shift pattern full details in the application form.
