Are you ready to lead the band?

This isn’t your average facilities role. It’s high stakes. High profile. And highly rewarding. 

If you're a strategic thinker with a hands-on mindset, passionate about operational excellence and people leadership — we want to hear from you. 

Welcome to one of the UK’s most dynamic operational environments – home to a world-class concert venue, Olympic-sized ice rinks, and a fast-moving schedule that never stops. 

At The National Ice Centre and Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham, we’re looking for a Head of Facilities with the expertise, passion, and grit to take the lead in a role that’s as rewarding as it is challenging. 

As Head of Facilities, you’ll lead the operational heart of our multi-purpose venue – from critical infrastructure (HVAC, refrigeration, and life safety systems) to event turnaround and delivering strategic objectives. No two days are the same, and every decision you make helps ensure thousands of guests enjoy unforgettable experiences – safely, smoothly, and sustainably. 

You’ll manage a team of Facilities Managers across technical, maintenance, housekeeping, and events set up. Ensuring health and safety and compliance, shaping frontline delivery and implementing long-term strategy. From driving high performance to embedding a culture of safety and continuous improvement, your leadership keeps the show on the road.  

This role is your chance to solve real-world problems on a grand stage.  

This is a role for a natural leader — someone who thrives on bringing people together, building high-performing teams, and turning plans into action. You’ll inspire a diverse workforce, drive performance, and lead by example in a fast-paced, live environment where teamwork and precision matter. You’ll empower managers, mentor frontline teams, and make confident decisions that keep the venue running seamlessly. From transforming spaces overnight for major events to embedding a culture of safety, ownership, and continuous improvement — if you're someone who gets energy from people, solves problems under pressure, and knows how to make things happen, this is your time to be in the spotlight.
