As Mirus continues to grow and expand its production capacity including the development of new buildings and the potential for a future factory, this is a highly practical, hands-on Facilities Manager role, responsible for ensuring our buildings, infrastructure, utilities, site services, production equipment and machinery are fully supported in a high-performing aerospace manufacturing environment.
