The campus can accommodate approximately 750 employees during its busiest midweek periods and is occupied by major international organisations operating within the automotive and financial services sectors.

You will also need:
- Experience managing facilities within a corporate, commercial, or multi-building environment
- A good broad understanding of mechanical and electrical building services
- Knowledge of HVAC, plant rooms, fire systems, water hygiene, and statutory compliance
- Experience managing planned and reactive maintenance contractors
- Strong client and stakeholder management skills
- Experience coordinating cleaning, housekeeping, or other soft services
- The ability to review contractor quotations and recommendations
- Confidence managing building faults, service interruptions, and urgent issues
- Strong organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills
