• Lead and manage the Site FM team, fostering a culture of safety, compliance, and engagement while ensuring adequate resourcing for peak and off‑peak periods.
• Act as the primary contact for reactive FM needs, using data‑driven insights to communicate updates, resolve maintenance issues, and collaborate with stakeholders to maintain site functionality and security.
