Junior Facilities Manager & Contracts Negotiator
We are looking for a practical, analytical, no-nonsense person to be part of our growing Fire and Facilities Management Team based in Camden Town, London NW1.
About youIf you are technically minded, love to know how things work and can explain and share that with people, then we are looking for you. We need you to be inquisitive, as asking questions is the only way to agree on both the right course of action and the price. The ability to haggle and use comparative pricing to get best value is also a skill we are looking for.
Junior Facilities Manager & Contracts Negotiator role overview – what does a Junior Facilities Manager & Contracts Negotiator do?
What a Junior Facilities Manager doesOur team does vital work to plan and manage all types of plant and equipment from lifts to sprinklers. We also manage the programme of fire door inspections and liaise with the fire service to help keep their records up to date for our high-rise buildings. It is serious work, so we are methodical and careful. We stick to the process and have tools to help us know what needs doing when, as well as robots to do a chunk of the chasing for us. We are developing our tech and tools further to capture component failure costs so as we grow we can easily use comparative pricing – it is always important to know that contractors are not opportunistic and to deliver value for money.
Experience within the team will help you grow to interpret engineers’ reports to preserve both the lifespan of equipment and the safety of residents too.
Another part of how we inform our Clients is by setting budgets for plant maintenance to support the Relationship Managers whose job it is to manage all other aspects for the Client. That said, our team is best placed to answer questions about what plant and machinery does; we are not Client shy and relish the opportunity to share our knowledge.
