  • Exposure to ESG and sustainability initiatives, including driving energy reduction, carbon savings and aligning with client-led environmental strategies

What You’ll Need

  • Extensive experience in commercial Facilities Management, ideally across both single “trophy” assets and multi-site portfolios within office or mixed-use environments
  • Proven leadership experience managing high-performing teams, with the ability to mentor, influence and drive performance across geographically spread sites
