Urenco is a global leader in the production of low carbon energy. We work at the cutting edge of the transition to a sustainable, net zero world.

We’re looking for Facilities and Safety Coordinator, to be based at our Paddington office in London. Reporting to the Security and Safety Manager as well as the Head of People & Culture, the Facilities and Safety Coordinator will be the first point of contact for staff wishing to report any facilities or safety issues. You will take ownership of incident reporting and preparation of all monthly reporting, ensuring that a strong safety culture is maintained within the office environment, and all relevant safety data is registered. Where issues have been investigated and cannot be personally resolved then you will decide when to escalate matters to our planned and reactive FM service contractor. You will also monitor the on-site cleaning and catering personnel as well as all other FM personnel visiting site, to ensure adherence to on-site safety and cleanliness standards.
This is a very engaging role, encompassing a range of facilities management activities, critically reviewing and providing input while working within the established facilities plan to achieve pre-established outcomes.

The role will require the individual to be both proactive and reactive in their approach to safety and FM, with a mindset to continually want to improve processes and be hands on with managing activities and being a first responder to on-site incidents.
A good Safety Culture is key at Urenco Limited and working to improve the safety culture and engagement of staff and contractors is key to the role. The role will make a pivotal contribution to success of Urenco Limited’s safety performance and therefore its wider business success.
