Technical Delivery Manager (FM) - Local Authority Contract We're working with a local authority that has recently mobilised two new FM contracts and is looking for a Technical Delivery Manager to help shape how services are delivered moving forward, particularly in preparation for LGR. This role is focused on reviewing and improving existing FM processes. You'll come in with a clear view of best practice, assess the current "direction of travel," and help refine how services are structured and delivered. There may also be an opportunity to review and potentially outsource elements of the service where appropriate. You'll be working closely with an in-house team, supporting the mobilisation and ongoing performance of the new contracts. A big part of the role will involve overseeing performance boards, ensuring KPIs are met, and driving accountability across service delivery. They're looking for someone with strong FM experience who can take a strategic yet hands-on approach, someone comfortable challenging processes, improving efficiency, and ensuring high-quality technical delivery. One of the key contracts includes OCS, with a focus on DMA maintenance, so experience in similar environments would be beneficial. Key details: £450 per day (fixed rate) Hybrid working, minimum 3 days onsite Local authority environment, supporting a key transformation phaseThis is a great opportunity to step into a role where you can influence how FM services are delivered at a strategic level while still being close to the operational detail

Compliance Manager (Hard Services) - Local Authority Contract We're supporting a local authority that has just secured two major contracts across hard and soft services, with a longer-term transition plan over the next two years. They've invested heavily in their asset base and are now looking for someone to take ownership of compliance across the portfolio. This role is very delivery-focused. You'll be coming in to assess current compliance levels, challenge existing data (which isn't fully reliable), and drive a clear plan to bring all assets up to standard. The first 3 months will be key, setting up schedules, implementing monitoring processes, and creating structure across the portfolio. They need someone with a strong hard services compliance background, ideally from a commercial environment, who knows how to take buildings from non-compliant to compliant. You'll also take ownership of monthly reporting, so being detail-oriented and comfortable managing that process is essential. You'll need to be confident working with contractors, getting them on side, and pushing things through to completion. Key details: £450 per day (fixed rate) Hybrid working, minimum 3 days onsite Local authority environment with a fresh "reset" opportunityThis is a great opportunity to step into a role where you can genuinely shape and improve compliance from the ground up. Please do apply if this is for you or feel free to forward this onto anyone relevant you may know
