You will collaborate with contractors and suppliers, ensuring high-quality service delivery in a timely manner. When necessary, you’ll address performance concerns and work to develop strong, positive relationships with key partners. This remote role offers flexibility while ensuring operational efficiency across your portfolio.

About you:

We seek individuals with demonstrable experience in a similar role, with extensive knowledge of large and complex properties concerning maintenance management, fire alarm, and life safety systems, including current legislation relating to building maintenance.

You should have experience diagnosing and specifying building repairs and maintenance, with a proven record in multisite Hard FM management, technical knowledge of building fabric and M&E, and a good understanding of Health and Safety regulations.
