We’re looking for a Senior Facilities Manager to join a unique and rapidly expanding real estate company. This role will sit under the Head of FM and work closely with the residential, commercial, hotel, and leisure teams.
All FM functions are managed fully in-house, and this position will play an important part in delivering the group’s FM strategy. Initially, the focus will be on supporting the residential portfolio, with scope to expand involvement across the wider group once performance has been established.
This is a hands-on role with a varied workload, offering both autonomy and strong support. Over the next 12 months, we’ll be reviewing current FM processes to drive efficiency and set new standards across the business. The Senior Facilities Manager will be key in carrying out these improvements and ensuring new SOPs are followed effectively.
With a development pipeline of approximately 2,500 residential apartments and 15 hotels, the Senior Facilities Manager will also support the Head of FM in preparing, onboarding, and launching these assets as they come online.
