Facilities Manager – Eureka! Science + Discovery

The state of play…

Eureka! is well known and well-loved family and children’s visitor attraction in the north of England. In 2022, we celebrate our 30th birthday and are facing a pivotal moment in the history of our organisation.

Next autumn, we’re opening a brand-new Eureka! visitor attraction in Wirral. Eureka! Science + Discovery will be a high-profile addition to the exciting cultural landscape of the Liverpool City Region, a crucial element in the regeneration of the left bank of the River Mersey, and the only Science and Discovery centre specifically for children and young people aged 6–14 in the UK.

Our new science and discovery centre will complement Eureka!’s National Children’s Museum in Halifax, West Yorkshire – the UK’s only dedicated children’s museum; an interactive hands-on experience specifically for children aged 0–11.

We need an experienced Facilities Manager to lead a brand-new team at our innovative visitor attraction

The focus for the role will be to lead the Facilities Team in bringing the site at Seacombe forward from a refurbished terminal and attraction building to a working visitor attraction.

This includes providing early support to Base Build and Fit-out contractors to ensure their work is fit-for-purpose and managing the commissioning of the equipment and supplies.
