Facilities Manager

The Role Outline: The Executive Brief

As our Quantity Surveyor, you are the financial guardian of our massive capital projects portfolio. Working directly with the Head of Capital Projects, you will take total commercial ownership of our developments, from early stage acquisitions and feasibility through to final delivery. You will manage budgets, rigorously control costs across our core estate, and build the reliable benchmarking data we need to make confident, highly profitable investment decisions.

Why Village?

At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating truly unique hotel environments including lively spaces for our guests to work, eat, relax, and play.

We are entering an incredibly exciting period of commercial expansion, and we need a brilliant commercial mind who wants to do more than just crunch numbers. If you have the analytical rigour to protect our investments and the emotional intelligence to partner seamlessly with external contractors and internal stakeholders, we will give you the absolute autonomy to drive our commercial governance. Because it really does take a Village.

How the Village Thrives

We live our culture through three simple commitments:

• We Can & We Do: We show up to make a genuine difference and do fantastic work every day, with purpose.
  
  

• We Will: Treat each other with respect and dignity. No ego, no drama. We try our best and look out for each other.
  
  

• We Care: We care about our impact on guests, the community, and each other.
  
  

Your Remit: What You Will Actually Be Doing

We do not just need a spreadsheet manager; we need a highly commercial negotiator. We trust you to handle:

• The Financial Governance: Protecting the purse strings. You will undertake detailed monthly reviews of forecasts and actual spend, accurately monitoring project costs on a live basis and ensuring external QS teams and contractors are validated before a single penny is processed.
  
  

• The Acquisitions & Development: Costing the future. You will develop robust acquisition budgets, manage external consultants through the tender process, and ensure our cost modelling tools capture everything required for our massive new developments.
  
  

• The Core Estate: Maximising the current portfolio. You will create overall project budgets for our existing 34 hotels, reviewing historic expenditure to establish highly accurate cost plans for our key refurbishment programmes.
  
  

• The Benchmarking Data: Driving smarter decisions. You will build and maintain a live, reliable database of project cost information, analysing historic data to identify efficiencies and ensure we get absolute value for money on every future investment.
  
  

How We Succeed Together

We do not micromanage. It takes a village, so we believe in Ownership & Integrity, giving you the autonomy to challenge commercial information, manage external consultants, and advise the executive team. We champion teamwork, hate corporate jargon, and desperately want you to succeed.

Selling Our Executive Package

• The Compensation: A highly competitive basic salary of £60,000 to £65,000, reflecting the commercial weight and critical importance of this role along with eligibility to join our discretionary bonus scheme.
  
  

• Health & Wealth: Comprehensive Private Medical Insurance (PMI) to keep you fully covered, alongside an enhanced executive pension scheme and life assurance.
  
  

• The Lifestyle: Complimentary full leisure club membership for you and a friend (worth £1,500 annually), plus a dedicated well-being programme and a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme.
  
  

• Hotel Stays & Time Off: Discounted stays from £35 based on two sharing across our properties, plus a Holiday Purchase scheme to ensure you actually take a well earned break.
  
  

• Financial & Extras: Access to our Electric Car Salary Sacrifice scheme, flexible financial wellbeing support via Wagestream, High Street discounts, and your birthday off guaranteed.
  
  

• Food & Drink: 50% discount on Food and Drink purchased at any Village Hotel, whether you are having a working lunch or a weekend dinner.
  
  

Ready to Drive Our Expansion?

We are looking for a commercially sharp Quantity Surveyor (MRICS preferred or working towards) with a solid three to five years of experience, ideally within the hospitality, residential, retail, or operator space. If you are a wizard with cost reporting tools, know how to confidently challenge a contractor's invoice, and want to play a massive part in our growth story, we want to hear from you.

Bring your commercial rigour, your drive, and your ambition. Hit apply, tell us why you love the reality of cost management, and let's see if our energies align.
