About the Opportunity

Respond to FM queries, coordinate reactive maintenance, and ensure service delivery standards are met.
Support budgeting, reporting, and tender processes.
After an initial period of assisting, take responsibility for your own portfolio as opportunities open.

About You

Some experience in facilities management-either in an AFM role or FM admin/coordinator capacity.
Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage tasks across multiple sites.
Confident communicator, able to work closely with tenants, contractors, and senior FM colleagues.
A proactive attitude and desire to grow into full portfolio management.
Full UK driving licence (car allowance provided).

What's on Offer

30,000- 35,000 salary
3,600 annual car allowance
25 days holiday + additional benefits
Exposure to a wide range of assets and the opportunity to step into full FM responsibility
Joining a reputable, people-focused property consultancy with a strong regional presence
