• Maintain accurate reporting through CAFM systems and provide clear operational updates to senior stakeholders

The successful candidate will demonstrate strong multi‑site FM experience within commercial property, with prior responsibility for managing on‑site teams. A solid understanding of service charge management, statutory compliance, and contractor governance is essential. IOSH qualification is required, with NEBOSH advantageous.
