OCS Group is one of the UK’s largest facilities management providers, with deep roots in cleaning, security and integrated FM. The company traces its history back to 1900 and now employs around 50,000 people in the UK alone, plus further international operations.
What OCS does at UK stadiums
At a typical UK stadium, OCS handles:
- Matchday cleaning – before, during and after the event.
- Deep cleaning – on non-matchdays, including the pitch surrounds, concourses and seating bowls.
- Integrated FM – HVAC, plumbing, building maintenance.
- In some venues, non-matchday security and reception services.
UK venues operated
OCS holds significant cleaning and FM contracts at multiple major UK stadiums, including Wembley, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Etihad Stadium, Old Trafford and Anfield (specific scopes vary contract-by-contract).
Roles you’ll see OCS hire for
- Matchday cleaning team – typically a casual contract running 4–6 hour shifts post-event.
- Concourse cleaning operatives – during-event mobile cleaning teams.
- Deep-clean specialists – non-matchday, often weekday hours, with longer shifts.
- FM technicians – plumbers, HVAC, electricians (skilled trades, permanent contracts).
How to apply

What applicants should check first
OCS venue roles can sit under several labels: event cleaning, turnaround cleaning, security, front-of-house, hard services or total facilities management. For stadium applicants, the key question is whether the advert is tied to a matchday-only team or to a permanent venue contract. A post-event cleaning shift may start after the crowd leaves and run late into the night; a facilities technician or soft-services role may follow a weekday rota and require trade experience, site induction or extra compliance checks.
Before applying, confirm the venue named in the advert, the shift finish time, whether public transport still runs after the shift, and whether you need PPE or previous cleaning experience. OCS also publishes a dedicated venues and events service page covering event cleaning, security, stewarding, catering support and waste management, which is useful background when deciding whether a stadium role is guest-facing or back-of-house.
