Stichting AAP is looking for a Manager Facility Services (International / EU)

Our dream is to put an end to the suffering of exotic animals in Europe. To achieve this, AAP is active in several EU member states and is developing into an international organization. These activities include running two rescue centers. The increased size and complexity of maintaining and developing the sites and changes in the management structure, led to the decision to open this vacancy.

Do you feel challenged and energized to realize our dream with us by being responsible for management of facilities within our international animal welfare organization? Then this is the job for you!

Facility Services is responsible for the management of all buildings, terrains, equipment and related processes, including safety and security. The increased complexity and number of buildings, terrains and equipment, require a different approach. Firstly to improve facility related processes and drawing up, maintaining and executing multi annual maintenance plans, but also managing larger projects as the energy transition and renovation or full replacement of buildings. With these steps we want to strengthen facility services by adding the tactical and strategical scope. For the year plan execution of daily operations you can rely on two competent local teams, both managed and coordinated by two team leaders. The team in the Netherlands (Almere) consists of 1 team leader, 2 executing supervisors, 1 technical employee, 1 gardener and 1 coordinator for the canteen. In Spain (Villena), the team consists of 1 executing team leader, 1 technical employee, 1 gardener / facility employee.
