Support and manage mobilisation activities, ensuring a smooth transition of services, systems and processes.
Identify opportunities to introduce new building technologies, smart systems and innovative solutions to improve building performance.
Work closely with property management, landlords, occupiers and other stakeholders to deliver an exceptional building experience.
Oversee planned preventative maintenance, reactive works, statutory compliance and lifecycle replacement programmes.
Monitor service provider budgets, operational expenditure and technical performance.
Drive energy efficiency, sustainability and continuous improvement initiatives across the building.
Maintain high standards of health and safety, risk management and statutory compliance. About You:
Proven experience as a Technical Services Manager, Technical Manager or similar within a large commercial building.
Strong client-side experience, or demonstrable experience managing and challenging third-party FM service providers.
A solid technical background in building services engineering, covering mechanical and electrical systems.
Experience supporting or leading the mobilisation of facilities management services.
An understanding of emerging building technologies, smart buildings, BMS integration and energy-efficient solutions.
Strong commercial awareness, with the ability to manage contractor performance, budgets and service delivery.
Excellent stakeholder management, communication and organisational skills.
A proactive approach, with the confidence to challenge existing processes and drive operational improvements. The Package:
£80,000 basic salary.
Monday to Friday 8am - 5pm.
Client-side position within a prestigious 300,000 sq. ft. trophy building.
The opportunity to influence technical strategy, service delivery and the future development of the building.
A role combining technical oversight, contractor management, mobilisation and innovation
