As part of our team, you’ll be based within the Cumbria Consortium, supporting one of the UK’s largest and most significant integrated facilities management partnerships. Mitie delivers facilities management services across multiple sites within the Consortium, including Sellafield Ltd, Europe’s largest nuclear site.

Mitie has worked in partnership with Sellafield since 2003, with the relationship growing over the years into a full integrated facilities management contract covering engineering, cleaning, security, waste management, grounds maintenance, catering and projects. Today, hundreds of Mitie colleagues support the operation of sites across Cumbria and Warrington.
