• Experience of supervising or line managing on-site teams and/or contractors, ideally including soft FM services such as cleaning or waste management.
• Demonstrable ability to prioritise, plan and organise workloads to meet competing deadlines.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to interact effectively with clients, occupants, contractors and colleagues.
