* Driving continuous improvement by sharing best practice, championing facilities excellence, and staying ahead of industry trends.
What do I need?
* Senior-level experience in Facilities Management, ideally across a national, multi-site portfolio.
* Strong technical knowledge of FM disciplines, with familiarity in SFG20, CAFM systems, and environmental certifications.
* Proven track record of managing performance, driving continuous improvement, and delivering results.

* Experience in a senior operational role within a fast-paced, customer-focused environment.
* Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and manage third-party relationships.
* High levels of energy, resilience, and adaptability to thrive in a dynamic setting with shifting priorities.
