Site Utilities & Services Manager, Arla - Leeds

Arla Foods Limited
Leeds

Are you ready to lead utilities and services at scale - galvanising a high-performing team to deliver safer, more reliable and efficient operations at a major production site? You’ll own our utilities and services agenda—from safety and compliance to asset care and digitalisation—driving reliability, energy performance and long-term value. How You Will Make an Impact In this days-based role (Monday–Friday, 37.5 hours), you will lead the Site Utilities & Services function at Stourton Dairy, shaping the strategy and day-to-day execution that keeps our site safe, compliant and reliable. You will build team capability, develop best-practice maintenance strategies, and drive transformational change across critical utilities and services.

  • Champion safety and culture; own team service and performance (safety, compliance, quality, cost, delivery, motivation, plant)
  • Implement best-practice maintenance strategies and asset care plans (internal and 3rd party) in line with statutory/technical regulations (e.g., PSSR, LEV, LOLER, L8, ATEX/DSEAR)
  • Lead utilities and services across ammonia refrigeration, air handling, compressed air, site water/drainage, effluent plants, cooling water/towers, steam boilers, CHP engines, buildings/offices/grounds
  • Drive value through robust routines risk management, prioritisation, resource optimisation, cost control and efficiency
  • Set a 3-year roadmap aligned to site ambition and factory strategic plans; own risk, compliance, reliability and energy performance, with clear short/medium/long-term ownership
This role sits at Arla’s global strategic site, contributing to the Maintenance & Engineering community and reporting within the site leadership structure. What Will Make You Successful You will bring a HND/Bachelor’s/Diploma/Master’s in an engineering discipline (mechanical or electrical), with 5+ years’ leadership and management experience in a large, complex, fast-paced manufacturing environment owning site utilities and services. You will ideally add 5+ years in engineering (projects or maintenance), including system/asset ownership, commercial contracts and tenders, contractor management, and CAPEX/OPEX improvements. You will demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of mechanical and electrical safety compliance and regulations, ideally with FMCG/food experience including quality audits, HSE and retailer standards. You will be proficient with Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Power BI and SAP, and communicate confidently at senior level—leading teams through change. Personally, you will be a visionary, hands-on leader who builds culture and talent, drives reliability and energy improvements, and embraces digitalisation and enabling technologies to deliver world-class utility management. We work closely together and promise you a steep learning curve, meaningful responsibility and colleagues around you to cheer, support and challenge you every day. What Do We Offer? You’ll join a market leader with a collaborative, high-performance culture and strong commitment to development and internal progression - making things better for our customers, the farmers who own us and the whole world
