Sector: Building Services / Facilities Management

We’re looking for an experienced Operations Manager to oversee the delivery of high-quality building services and facilities management across a portfolio of sites in South London.

This is a hands-on operational role suited to someone with a strong engineering/building services background, or an experienced FM professional who has successfully managed hard services including M&E, HVAC, electrical, mechanical and statutory compliance.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day operational performance of the contract, ensuring engineering services are delivered safely, efficiently and to a consistently high standard.

Key responsibilities include:

* Managing engineering and hard FM service delivery across multiple sites.

* Leading and supporting engineers, supervisors and subcontractors.

* Managing planned and reactive maintenance performance.

* Ensuring all statutory, compliance and health & safety requirements are met.

* Monitoring KPIs, SLAs and operational performance.

* Managing client relationships and attending regular operational meetings.

* Overseeing subcontractors and specialist service providers.

* Managing budgets, costs and operational resources.

* Identifying opportunities to improve service delivery and efficiency.

* Supporting mobilisation, projects and continuous improvement initiatives.

About You

You’ll ideally have an engineering qualification or building services background, although strong hard-services FM experience will also be considered.

We’re looking for someone who has:

* Proven experience managing hard FM / building services operations.

* Strong knowledge of M&E services and building maintenance.

* Experience managing engineering teams and subcontractors.

* A good understanding of statutory compliance and PPM.

* Strong client-facing and commercial skills.

* The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

* A practical, hands-on approach rather than purely administrative FM experience.
