Jobs

Our borough is beginning a huge transformation. With ambitious regeneration plans, a need for new infrastructure, and plenty of investment on the way, things are changing. And we are transforming our organisation to be better equipped to have the greatest impact for our community. We need leaders to take us on the journey.

This is a key leadership role with the Council – that oversees and manages all aspects of the Council’s physical space, at civic offices and other locations, and is responsible for developing an informed and current picture of our physical assets.  You will support the maintenance of an efficient and safe working environment, that in turn supports the delivery of high-quality services to our customers. Responsible for hard and soft facilities management, you will lead an in-house team, as well as quality assuring the performance of external contractors. You will ensure that appropriate systems and management controls are in place across the estate to monitor performance and ensure adherence to relevant health & safety and wider statutory compliance. This will include the production of regular reports to senior officers on agreed key performance indicators. With a keen focus on customer services, you will provide a proactive tenant service responding to questions/requests/problems in a timely manner.

We expect that you will already have significant experience of leading FM services in a multi-site and multi-disciplinary work setting, and that you hold a relevant professional qualification. This is a role that demands a versatile skillset that includes leadership, strategic planning, and operational expertise, with responsibilities including budget management, maintenance, repairs, renovations, compliance with safety and legal regulations, and managing a facilities team and/or contractors. It’s also essential that you have an excellent working knowledge of Health and Safety Management systems, statutory and regulatory requirements. We’re looking for someone with more than just technical skills – we want an exceptional leader who can manage people and performance effectively and promote a highly professional and customer-centric culture.
