• Able to apply FM industry best practice to all elements of the role.
• Capable of building strong, professional client relationships and identifying and resolving clients’ issues.
• Able to analyse information quickly and efficiently, choose or recommend from a range of options and make decisions where the parameters are unclear and judgement needs to be exercised.
• Aside from accepting personal responsibility for the quality and commercial delivery aspects of your work you will be expected to develop skills and share knowledge within the whole consulting practice.
• Expected to work within any of the consulting practices where your professional skills and experience add value.
