My client, an established organisation within the automotive and motoring services sector, is currently seeking an experienced Facilities Officer to join their Health & Safety team, ideally based in Dublin.

Position Overview:

As Facilities Officer, you will support the maintenance, safety and compliance of premises across Ireland, reporting directly to the Health & Safety Manager.

This is a hands-on position combining minor maintenance and repairs with workplace inspections, contractor monitoring and accurate compliance record-keeping. It would suit someone with a maintenance, facilities or trade background who also has practical experience supporting workplace health and safety.

This is a full-time, permanent position, working Monday to Friday, 9am–5.30pm, offering a competitive salary of up to €50,000 depending on experience, an annual performance bonus of up to 5% and a company van.

The successful candidate will ideally be Dublin-based and must be comfortable travelling nationwide. Travel will mainly take place during the working day. Occasional overnight stays and flexibility outside normal hours may be required.

This role will involve working for my client directly on a permanent basis. This is not an agency or short-term role. I am assisting my client in finding a suitable candidate to join their team directly.
