Overview

My client are looking for a candidate to oversee a £1.5m portfolio, with confirmed growth by 2026. This division operates UK‑wide with an internal helpdesk, mobile engineering teams, and a mix of reactive and planned maintenance across all sectors.

 

This is a pivotal leadership role with genuine progression potential within a well‑established and respected organisation.

 

The Role

As the Senior FM Operations Lead, you will take full operational and commercial responsibility for a diverse FM portfolio. You will manage internal teams, oversee a nationwide engineering workforce, and ensure exceptional service delivery across both planned and reactive works.

You will play a key role in shaping the division's growth strategy, particularly within the North West, where expansion is a focus.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and develop a UK‑wide FM operation covering planned and reactive maintenance.

     

  • Oversee operational performance, financial control, and contract compliance across all sectors.

     

  • Strengthen and manage a high‑performing supply chain, including subcontractors and client‑side relationships.

     

  • Drive continuous improvement, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

     

  • Support strategic growth plans, particularly the expansion of the North West division.

     

  • Provide senior leadership, mentoring, and direction to operational teams.

     

  • Ensure all works are delivered safely, on time, and within budget.

  • Operations Manager (SME FM provider)

     

  • Account Manager (large FM organization)

     

Essential Experience

  • Strong background in Facilities Management (planned, reactive, or mixed).

     

  • Proven leadership experience within an FM operational environment.

     

  • Demonstrable ability to manage and strengthen supply chains-both client‑facing and subcontractor‑led.

     

  • Experience overseeing mobile engineering teams and/or helpdesk operations.

     

  • Based in the North West

 

What's on Offer

  • Salary £60,000-£70,000 depending on experience.

     

  • Significant progression opportunities within a growing division.

     

  • Autonomy, influence, and the chance to shape the future of the North West FM operation.

     

  • A stable, well‑known business with long‑term growth plans.
