Head of FM London (Newcastle or Manchester considered) £90,000 - £110,000 plus bonus, car allowance and share schemes First things first: this is a resident-facing role before it's anything else. You're taking on two Facilities Management teams with opposite problems and turning them into a single function that's genuinely engaged with the people living in these buildings, not reacting to issues from behind a desk. If you want a quiet technical brief and a team that already works the way you'd like, this isn't it. A national UK residential property business is hiring a Head of FM to lead its Facilities Management function across a large, multi-region portfolio spanning Build to Rent, PRS and long-held residential assets. It's two jobs held together by one person, and the FM half is where you'll spend most of your time. Facilities Management You own the strategy, the operating model and the service standards nationally, leading a dispersed team of FM professionals. FM strategy, operating model and service standards, with resident experience as the yardstick Planned preventative and reactive maintenance Procurement, contract management and supplier performance Utilities, energy management and heat networks Mobilisation of new developments into management Input into annual budget planning and service charges - FM is one of the largest areas of operational spend The bit that will actually decide whether you succeed The technical side of this function works. The teams know their jobs. What the business needs is someone who can change how those teams operate - and get both of them genuinely focused on the residents living in these buildings, not just the buildings themselves. The two halves of the estate need opposite things from you. One team has been through significant turnover. It's been rebuilt once and turned over again. Nobody is entirely sure why. Diagnosing that honestly and building stability is priority one. The other is stable, experienced and long-established - and more traditional in how it works. Moving it towards a different operating model will take patience and credibility, not authority. FM currently runs at arm's length from the buildings, and from the residents in them, while other teams are on site every day. Getting FM out of the office, visible in the buildings and building real relationships with residents is a stated priority - this is as much about resident experience as it is about the assets. Whoever gets this right will be judged as much on how residents feel about the service as on the compliance paperwork behind it. You'll also lead a mix of projects alongside the day job - regeneration works, ESG initiatives and building improvement programmes. Building & Fire Safety The statutory side is in good shape. The Building Safety Act machinery - Safety Cases, Golden Thread, registration, Mandatory Occurrence Reporting, Building Assessment Certificates, Resident Engagement - is already in place and audited, and it's the same story with the Fire Safety Order. You'll keep it on track, working alongside an existing building safety team, rather than building it from a standing start. That said, you'll be the named senior operational contact for the Building Safety Regulator, so genuine comfort with the subject matters - you just won't be starting from zero. The honest bit: this is a senior, regulator-facing role, but the majority of it is people and operations. If you're drawn here purely for the Building Safety Act side, it may not give you what you're looking for. What they're looking for FM leadership across a large, dispersed portfolio. Residential is the obvious fit - BTR, PRS, student or social housing - but strong operational environments transfer well. Maintenance and FM providers, hospitality and leisure estates all count. Real experience of resident or customer-facing service - you know what good looks like from the resident's side, not just the operational side, and you can get a team to care about that as much as you do. This is a priority, not a nice-to-have. A track record of stabilising an unsettled team, or shifting an established one to a new way of working - this matters as much as anything else in this brief Influencing and relationship-building across teams you don't manage Strategic input into procurement and annual budget planning, working alongside a procurement function A self-starter. Working knowledge of statutory building and fire safety compliance, with a genuine appetite to build on it - direct Higher Risk Building or Building Safety Regulator experience is a strong plus but not assumed on day one The details London preferred; Newcastle or Manchester considered. £90,000 - £110,000 plus bonus, car allowance, SAYE, Share Incentive Plan and a deferred bonus scheme. National travel across the portfolio is part of the job. IOSH, NEBOSH or equivalent is essential. Level 6 Building Safety Management, CABE, NEBOSH Fire, IFE, MRICS, MIWFM, MIFireE or CMIOSH are all welcome, but none of them replace having done the work. The process runs to three stages, including a presentation. The business is moving quickly - there is a leadership gap from mid-October, so this is not a slow-burn hire. Applications are handled confidentially. The employer is named at first conversation.

Level 6 Building Safety Management, CABE, NEBOSH Fire, IFE, MRICS, MIWFM, MIFireE or CMIOSH are all welcome, but none of them replace having done the work. The process runs to three stages, including a presentation. The business is moving quickly - there is a leadership gap from mid-October, so this is not a slow-burn hire. Applications are handled confidentially. The employer is named at first conversation.

1. Why we are hiring LaserTec is a fast growing specialist industrial laser cleaning contractor. We work across heritage, construction, marine, nuclear, defence and insurance reinstatement, on site and through equipment sales, hire, training and consulting. Our jobs are getting bigger. We are now regularly delivering projects of one week or more as a subcontractor to tier-1 main contractors and developers, on live construction and restoration sites across the UK. Examples of the current pipeline include a multi-week facade cleaning package on a City of London commercial scheme under a Principal Contractor, and a heritage gas holder restoration for a major residential developer. At the moment, planning and delivery of these jobs is carried across the founder, the Ops Manager and the Site Supervisor. That does not scale. We need one person who owns each longer job end to end: before, during and after. 2. What the role does The Project Manager owns every job over roughly one week in duration, from handover from Sales through to close-out and lessons learned. Before the job (planning) Take the won proposal and turn it into a deliverable plan: programme, crew, kit, access, consumables, extraction, waste, power, welfare Produce and own RAMS, permits, laser safety documentation and site-specific method statements, working with our Laser Safety Officer Attend pre-start meetings with the client and Principal Contractor; manage inductions, CSCS and competency evidence for the crew Confirm scope, sequencing, hold points, sign-off criteria and variation process in writing before we start Set the budget baseline for hours, lasers and consumables against the proposal During the job (delivery) Be the client's primary point of contact on site and off Run daily coordination with the Site Supervisor; make sure the crew has what it needs and the programme is being hit Track progress against the plan daily: m done, hours used, lasers deployed, downtime and why Spot and price variations early; agree them before the work is done, not after Manage site relationships with the main contractor's team, other trades and the client's project manager Escalate risks to Ops and the CEO with options, not just problems After the job (review and improvement) Close out commercially: final measure, variations agreed, application for payment supported with evidence Run a structured job review: estimate vs actual on hours, rates and consumables; what worked, what did not Feed findings back into our estimating assumptions, method library and future proposals Produce a short case study and client reference where appropriate 3. Who we are looking for We are open on sector. Attitude and process matter more than having done laser cleaning before; nobody has, and we will train the technical side. But the person must be credible on a tier-1 construction site from day one. Must have Three to seven years running site-based projects or work packages, ideally as a specialist subcontractor delivering into main contractors. Comfortable being the face of a small specialist company in front of a large client; calm, direct, professional under pressure Working knowledge of CDM, RAMS, permits to work, and how a Principal Contractor's site runs SMSTS (or SSSTS with a clear path to SMSTS) and a valid CSCS card Demonstrable track record of commercial control: tracking hours and cost against budget, identifying and agreeing variations, supporting applications for payment Organised and systematic by habit: writes things down, follows up, closes loops Full UK driving licence and willingness to be on site in London and the rest of the UK, including some early starts, nights or weekends when the programme demands it Strongly preferred Experience with heritage or listed building work, or with conservation officers and heritage consultants Comfortable with structured tools and software: we run our own business operating system and expect the PM to live in and help us develop it, not in a notebook Has worked in a small, growing company and understands that means wearing more than one hat Nice to have First Aid at Work, Asbestos Awareness, IPAF, PASMA Any laser safety, radiation or hazardous materials background Experience in nuclear, defence or marine environments, or security clearance We are not looking for A pure office-based PM who has not run work on site or someone from a very large contractor who is used to a full support team and has not done the paperwork themselves or a site manager who is strong operationally but has never owned a budget or a client relationship or anyone who needs a fixed 9 to 5 in Wokingham; HQ is in Wokingham but the job goes where the work is and will be in the office irregularly 4. The profile in one paragraph A mid-career site or project manager, who has spent enough time on tier-1 sites to know how they work and enough time in a small firm to know how to get things done without a department behind them. Commercially sharp, tidy on paperwork, good with clients, and excited by the idea of helping to build the delivery function of a growing technology-led contractor rather than just slotting into one that already exists. 5. What we offer Genuine ownership: this is the first dedicated PM role in the business, and the person will shape how we deliver A distinctive technology and a growing order book of high-profile, critical environment and mega-projects. Full training in laser cleaning technology and laser safety will be provided. Direct access to the founder and a clear path to a Head of Delivery or Operations role as the business grows. Contact For a confidential conversation about this role, please contact: Rob Andrews Founding Director, 2XR Executive Search This search is being conducted by 2XR on behalf of LaserTec.
