We’re looking for a strategic leader – not an operator. Someone who thinks about the bigger picture, is commercially sharp, and understands that great client relationships are built on trust, consistency, and genuine partnership. You’ll be walking into an enviable position: a loyal client, a motivated team, and a contract that is performing well. Your job is to take it further. An inspiring people leader with the ability to develop, coach and retain a high-performing team, with experience in: • Proven P&L ownership in a complex FM or engineering services environment – ideally with experience managing contracts of comparable scale and value., • Strong senior client relationship management – you are comfortable in the room with senior stakeholders and know how to turn a good relationship into a great one., • A background in M&E or engineering services, with the technical credibility to lead a skilled multidisciplinary team and engage meaningfully on complex building systems, including smart building technologies., • A genuine passion for people development – a leader who creates an environment where individuals are supported, challenged, and given real opportunity to grow. We're always evolving our benefits to ensure we're attracting and retaining great people.
