Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams (IT, Finance, Marketing, FM) and external contractors to ensure seamless project execution.
Ensure compliance with all statutory, lease, legal, and H&S obligations, including CDM, BSA, and Building Control regulations.
Optimise performance by reviewing supplier interactions, monitoring capital spend, and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.
Support strategic alignment by working closely with the UK Property Programme Manager and your Senior PM counterpart to ensure consistency across the national estate.
