Regional Facilities Manager
Wirral Mobile
£46,000 - £50,000
£5,400 p/a car allowance
We are currently recruiting an experienced Facilities Manager to manage a Total Facilities Management (TFM) contract across 3-4 schools in the Wirral. Working as part of a large team of Facilities Managers, you will be part of a bigger portfolio. While you are responsible for your schools, you will have a lot of support from the team and the Operations Manager. The site is preparing for hand-back in 7 years, so PFI experience would be advantageous but not essential.
The relationships between the school, FM company, and SPVs are mixed but largely positive, so a team-first approach and flexible attitude are needed along with a high standard of communication to keep relationships a key priority.
The role involves mobile working between the sites, the local office, and your home; you will manage your own diary.
Duties of the role include:
1. Managing a TFM contract across 3-4 schools.
2. Managing Engineering, Grounds, Cleaning, and Security through on-site teams and subcontractors.
3. Monitoring performance of subcontractors to ensure high quality of work and good value for money.
4. Monitoring contractual KPIs to ensure all SLAs are met and penalties are minimized.
5. Attending meetings with the school to discuss ongoing work and projects, maintaining high communication and strong relationships.
6. Attending contract challenge meetings as appropriate between the school and the SPV alongside the commercial manager as required.
7. Working with the Projects and Lifecycle Teams to complete additional and minor works as well as any needed cap-ex works.
The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:
1. Experience in managing hard and soft services is essential.
2. Experience managing FM within schools or colleges is beneficial.
3. Good communication skills.
4. Good commercial awareness.
5. Detail-focused and organized.
