• Coordinate with approved service providers for the maintenance of all utilities (electricity, water, internet) and infrastructure; manage vendor performance against SLAs and escalate underperformance.
• Conduct and document periodic facility inspection walkthroughs; identify defects, safety hazards, and maintenance needs and initiate corrective actions before they impact warehouse operations.
• Maintain a comprehensive facility maintenance register — recording all completed, pending, and scheduled works — updated continuously and reviewed with the Warehouse Supervisor monthly.
• Act as the primary internal point of contact for all day-to-day facility-related issues raised by warehouse staff; resolve or escalate within timelines.

• Ensure full compliance with the warehouse lease terms — including rent and service charge payment timelines, maintenance obligations, permitted use conditions, and fit-out or modification approvals.
• Serve as the primary liaison with the landlord(s) and relevant regulatory authorities on all lease-related matters; track and manage timelines for fit-outs, inspections, and lease renewals.

• Conduct routine safety assessments and ensure compliance with fire safety, workplace health, and emergency regulations applicable to the warehouse facility.
• Oversee insurance policies for the facility, stock, and equipment — ensuring full and current coverage at all times; track renewal dates and coordinate with Finance for timely policy management.

• Report all safety incidents, near-misses, and equipment malfunctions to the Warehouse Lead.

• Manage access authorisation for all warehouse personnel, contractors, and visitors in line with Sun King's security SOPs.
• Liaise with the security service provider to ensure guard deployment, patrol schedules, and incident response protocols are maintained.

• Implement tracking mechanisms for all facility assets; conduct periodic audits to reconcile asset and supplies records and ensure proper usage and custody.
• Coordinate scheduled and preventive maintenance for all warehouse equipment; ensure all equipment is safe, certified, and operational before authorising use.
• Manage facility-related supplies — ensuring critical supplies are available at all times; flag replenishment needs proactively before stockouts occur.

• Manage the facility operations budget — tracking all expenditure (rent, service charges, utilities, maintenance, supplies) against approved budget lines; identify and implement cost-saving opportunities without compromising service quality or safety.
• Develop and maintain accurate records of all facility expenses; prepare and submit monthly reports on facility performance, cost analysis, space utilisation, and operational efficiency to the Warehouse Lead.
