Infrastructure & Facilities Manager

Job Description

The Bishopsgate Institute is looking for an Infrastructure & Facilities Manager.

We are a private building that permits the public to enter for specific purposes, such as to use the Reading Room, access our special collections, to attend an event or class or as a private hirer of a space. Our location in the City of London means a heightened level of security awareness is required, and the nature of our special collections requires us to be alert to challenging behaviour from walk-ins and online whilst offering a warm and inclusive welcome.
Reporting to the Operations Manager, the Infrastructure & Facilities Manager leads on:

• the care, safety, operational readiness, security and cleanliness of the Institute’s buildings and spaces;

• the maintenance, repair and replacement of its equipment and infrastructure; facilities and utilities, including IT, sanitation, ventilation, heating and climate control;

• compliance with all health, safety, fire, and sanitation regulations and best practice;

• procurement, monitoring and review of contracts for services, including cleaning, fire safety, electrical work, key holders, sash window safety checks, and others to ensure best value of money;

• management of capital projects such as boiler replacement, including applications for planning permission and listed building consent, budgeting and reporting;

• advising the Operations Manager and Venue Hire & Event Planning Manager whether specific requests by hirers (such as film shoots) can be accommodated safely, and undertaking investigations if necessary;

• planning and implementing agreed programme of redecoration;

• office moves, procurement and disposal of furniture and used equipment, and workplace assessments.

The Infrastructure & Facilities Manager is a key holder and may be required to unlock or lock the building, attending site if contacted by our Key Holders if the alarms are activated out of hours, and to cover Duty Management.

The role is based at Bishopsgate Institute’s building and, although we consider flexible working requests, this role is expected to be performed fully on site.

This is a varied role providing support across the whole organisation, and it will suit someone diligent, collaborative, proactive and flexible with a can-do attitude, experienced and confident in caring for and managing a Grade II* listed building, its facilities and infrastructure.

It will be important for the post holder to know when to ask for guidance or clarification, and when to use their initiative and good judgment. Tact, the ability to work across teams and achieve consensus will be crucial. Excellent communication and problem solving skills, together with attention to detail, project and budget management skills, will be essential. The post holder must be confident and fluent using online portals, IT packages, purchase order systems and room booking software (currently Rendezvous).

The Operations Manager delegates some budget responsibility to the Infrastructure & Facilities Manager.

Application deadline: Monday 26 January 2026 – 10am

Interview dates:

First round: Tuesday 03 February 2026

Building tour (for second round candidates): Week commencing 09 February 2026

Second round: Tuesday 17 February 2026

Successful applicants will demonstrate a keen understanding of Bishopsgate Institute’s unique offer, and a passion for the work we do here.

We only accept direct applications, and we do not accept CVs. Please no agencies.

To apply, please download, complete and return your application form:

We value and celebrate diversity, and we welcome applications from under-represented communities in our sector, including Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic communities, LGBTQ+, non-binary, neurodiverse and disabled candidates. We want to make sure we represent the society in which we work but recognise that the cultural sector still has much work to do in this area.

Representation & Partnership Management

• Supervise and support regional technical leaders and country teams.
• Promote a culture of collaboration, accountability, and professional development across partner organizations.

• Create and maintain systems to ensure effective and transparent use of financial resources for timely and informative reporting in line with programme, donor, and Mercy Corps’ needs.
