Our client, based in Chelsea, is seeking an experienced Head of Facilities to join them on a 10 month fixed term contract, starting as soon as possible.
This is a facilities management role focused on estate management and contractor oversight rather than hands-on technical work. The successful candidate will need sound working knowledge of building management systems in order to identify and diagnose issues accurately, and to direct subcontractors with confidence and authority. You will be supported by a small, established team and will report directly to a director.
