Life Property manages and maintains the buildings and physical environment within which Life and its tenants operate. The site is in a central part of the city, close to Central Station and requires facilities cover 24/7.
We are looking for a Facilities Controller to assist in the Control Room, a central hub for the day-to-day facilities management of the Centre.
