Job Description
* Commercial Facilities Manager
* London

* Salary of £50,000 plus extensive benefits
A genuine opportunity for an experienced Facilities Manager who wants responsibility, pace and a challenge rather than a quiet portfolio.
This is a London based Facilities Manager role within a well established in house FM function at a major UK property owner. Over the last five years the FM team has been built from the ground up and the portfolio has doubled from an FM managed perspective.

The Role
You will take full operational responsibility for a London based portfolio of operational assets, working alongside Property Managers as shared managers of the buildings.
This is a delivery focused role. The first 6 to 12 months will be demanding as newly acquired assets are mobilised and embedded into existing systems and processes.
