Job Title: Facility Manager

Location: Ikoyi, Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time

Description

• We are looking for a proactive Facility Manager who will own the day-to-day maintenance and upkeep of our properties.
• You will manage preventive maintenance, supervise repairs, coordinate with contractors, track assets and ensure every facility runs smoothly.
• But critically, you will take initiative — spotting inefficiencies, suggesting improvements, optimising costs and continuously raising the standard of how we maintain our properties. You won't wait to be asked; you'll see what needs doing and own it.

Core Responsibilities
Preventive & Reactive Maintenance:

• Execute preventive maintenance schedules across all building systems — HVAC, electrical, plumbing, elevators, generators, water treatment.
• Respond promptly to maintenance requests and urgent facility issues — ensuring minimal disruption to guests and operations.
• Troubleshoot equipment failures and faults — determining root cause and whether to repair or replace.
• Maintain maintenance records for all work completed — tracking costs, labour, parts and equipment lifespan.

Asset & Equipment Management:

• Maintain an accurate asset register of all building systems and major equipment — with maintenance history and lifecycle estimates.
• Plan and execute preventive maintenance schedules to extend equipment life and avoid costly emergency breakdowns.
• Monitor equipment performance — identifying when replacements or upgrades are needed before failure occurs.
• Manage spare parts inventory — ensuring critical parts are on hand to minimise downtime.

Contractor & Vendor Coordination:

• Coordinate with external contractors for specialist work (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, elevators, etc.).
• Ensure contractor work meets our standards, timelines and safety requirements.
• Monitor contractor costs and negotiate competitive rates — driving value without compromising quality.
• Maintain a roster of reliable contractors and manage relationships for future work.

Utilities & Cost Management:

• Monitor water, electricity and fuel consumption — identifying anomalies, leaks and opportunities for cost savings.
• Investigate utilities discrepancies — determining whether there are faults, leaks or inefficiencies to address.
• Implement cost-saving measures — whether that's scheduling maintenance off-peak, optimising equipment settings or reducing wastage.
• Ensure all utility payments are accurate and processes are efficient.

Guest & Staff Experience:

• Ensure all guest-facing facilities are immaculate, functional and comfortable — temperature, lighting, cleanliness, amenities.
• Respond to guest complaints about facilities with speed and professionalism.
• Maintain staff facilities (kitchens, restrooms, work areas) to a high standard.
• Coordinate with operations to ensure facility support seamlessly meets operational needs.

Initiative & Continuous Improvement — Key Part of This Role:

• Spot maintenance inefficiencies and suggest better ways of doing things — don't wait for problems.
• Identify opportunities to reduce costs without compromising quality or guest experience.
• Drive adoption of better maintenance practices, tools or equipment that improve outcomes.
• Suggest capital improvements or replacements that will reduce ongoing maintenance costs or improve reliability.
• Build relationships with contractors and operations teams — understanding their needs and delivering solutions.

Safety & Compliance:

• Work with the HSE function to ensure all facilities meet safety standards.
• Maintain compliance with applicable building codes and safety regulations.
• Report facility-related safety concerns to management and HSE.

Requirements
Experience:

• 3+ years in facilities or maintenance management
• Familiarity with maintenance management software or systemsis an advantage
• Experience in hospitality, hotels or multi-property operations is valued
• Cross-industry experience is welcome — maintenance principles are universal
• Experience with preventive maintenance scheduling

Skills & Mindset:

• Self-motivated — you identify what needs doing and do it
• Proactive — you prevent problems rather than just react to them
• Practical problem-solver — you troubleshoot issues methodically
• Detail-oriented — you maintain records and track performance
• Cost-conscious — you find ways to reduce costs without cutting corners
• Initiative-taker — you suggest improvements and drive them forward

Technical Knowledge:

• Basic understanding of HVAC, electrical, plumbing systems
• Familiarity with preventive maintenance planning
• Ability to read building plans and maintenance documentation
• Willingness to learn and pursue relevant certifications
• Comfortable troubleshooting equipment and identifying faults.

What we Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Opportunity to grow into more responsibility
• A role where your initiative is valued and visible
• A workplace where quality maintenance is appreciated
• Clear expectations and support from management.
