Ontic, a leading licensor and manufacturer of complex engineering parts for the global aerospace and defence industries, are now recruiting for a Facility Engineer to join our Operations team, where you’ll support the day-to-day functionality and long-term efficiency of our UK facilities. This role will be based at our Tewkesbury site, and regular travel between both our Gloucestershire sites may be required to support projects and operational needs.

Ontic is more than just a business—were a community of innovators who pride ourselves on fostering a culture where talent thrives, ideas flourish, and careers are built. Were committed to excellence, which drives us to continuously improve and adapt, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of our industry.

The Role:

As our Facility Engineer, you’ll play a key role in supporting and managing building and maintenance services across the site. During the initial facility build-out, youll develop a thorough understanding of all systems, infrastructure, and support services. Once operational, you’ll take the lead in ensuring efficient, compliant, and proactive facility management, drawing on both internal teams and third-party contractors.

From managing preventative maintenance schedules and coordinating call-outs, to ensuring full compliance with health, safety, and security procedures, your work will keep our operations running smoothly. You’ll work cross-functionally, liaising with contractors, engineers, and internal stakeholders to deliver facility support that enables wider business success.

About you:

At Ontic, our culture is integral to making sure we enjoy our work and deliver for our customers. While we look for the right skill set, we’re also looking for someone who will thrive within our recognition and empowerment culture.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need a recognised qualification in a commercial facilities discipline—whether electrical, gas, or plumbing—and have proven experience in facilities management. You’ll bring a hands-on approach to managing essential services such as infrastructure maintenance, equipment servicing, site security, waste management, and contractor oversight.

You’ll need to be confident using Microsoft Office applications, communicating with a wide range of stakeholders, and making informed decisions to ensure compliance, safety, and operational continuity. Experience in a manufacturing or engineering environment would be beneficial, and the ability to remain flexible and responsive in a fast-paced, evolving setting is key.

Benefits:

At Ontic we care about your financial, physical, and mental wellbeing. We offer a range of benefits to support this and have a valued culture of recognition and empowerment, accompanied by rewards that support work/life balance.
