Facilities Service Lead

At OMNIA Training, we’ve brought together some of the UK’s most innovative defence training organisations into a single consortium to delivery one powerful mission: to transform the British Army’s training system and create the best-trained Army in the world.

OMNIA Training will redefine the British Army’s collective training, standing up as the Army’s Strategic Training Partner. To do that, we are looking for the best and brightest minds from across the UK. We are backed by British innovation and powered by world-class experts, like you.  

OMNIA Training is primed by Raytheon UK, but all five partners (Raytheon, Rheinmetall, Capita, Skyral and Cervus) are key to delivering the scope of the contract.

Rheinmetall Electronics UK (REUK) is entrusted with the training delivery aspect of the contract meaning that you will be at the front and centre of British Army training.

This is more than a job — it’s a mission. You will be part of a high-impact, collaborative environment, where we expect everyone to live the values and standards of the British Army. Every person in our team plays a critical role in delivering OMNIA Training’s vision; designing, delivering, and transforming collective training so the British Army is ready to fight and win.

As the Facilities Service Lead, you will play a key role in supporting the planning and delivery of military training activities by managing the use and development of Defence Training Estates. Your responsibilities will include creating and maintaining a detailed catalogue of training locations and their capabilities, so that exercise planning can be expedited. You will assess and verify existing facility solutions to ensure they are fit for purpose, identifying any capability gaps or areas for improvement.

You will lead a team and coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to arrange access to training sites, facilitating the setup, execution, and teardown of exercises and activities. In addition, you will monitor and review how training estates are being used, analysing utilisation data to inform recommendations for improved efficiency, better resource allocation, and future expansion. This role requires strong organisational and communication skills, as well as the ability to balance operational needs with long-term strategic planning. Your contributions will be critical in ensuring operational readiness, enabling data-driven decision-making, and delivering secure, scalable, and integrated simulation training systems.

Required, necessary for the role

• Strong organisational and coordination skills, with experience managing complex logistics across multiple sites.
• Proven ability to assess infrastructure and facility capabilities against operational requirements.
• Experience working within Defence, military, or similar structured environments.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including with internal teams, contractors, and government agencies.
• Ability to analyse data, utilisation rates, and produce actionable reports.
• Knowledge of safety, environmental, and compliance standards relevant to training facilities.
• Proficient in MS Office and data management tools for reporting and documentation.

Desired, would be helpful for the role

• Familiarity with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) and Overseas Training and Infrastructure Committee (OTIC).
• Experience managing temporary or modular structures for training or operational use.
• Understanding of estate planning, development processes, and asset lifecycle management.
• Project management certification (e.g. PRINCE2, APM, or equivalent).
• Working knowledge of GIS systems or estate mapping tools.
• Military background or experience supporting military training exercises

Personal Attributes

We’re looking for a proactive and organised Facilities Service Lead who is comfortable working in complex environments and takes ownership of delivering practical, effective solutions to support military training. You’ll bring a thoughtful and hands-on approach to managing training estate infrastructure, understanding its importance in enabling safe, efficient, and realistic training experiences for end users.

Success in this role will come from your ability to coordinate multiple tasks and stakeholders, think ahead, and adapt to changing priorities. Whether you have direct experience in Defence or transferable skills from a similar field, you’ll be confident working with teams to manage infrastructure, solve problems, and improve how facilities are used. Strong communication and collaboration skills are important, as you'll be working with a range of military, civilian, and contractor stakeholders to ensure training sites are accessible, safe, and fit for purpose.

As OMNIA, we are looking for individuals who want to serve. You’ll have a mission focus, and the enthusiasm and drive to ‘get things done’. You’ll want to work in collaboration with other defence training organisations, and the British Army. You won’t let bureaucracy get in the way of what needs to be done, you’ll learn lessons and share these lessons across the team. You won’t necessarily have a military background, but you’ll understand what it means to serve and to put the mission first.
