FM Head of Contract Support - #2184814

• Mon to Fri
• Hybrid role - home working with a level of national travel
• Salary plus car/allowance and bonus

A leading Facilities Management (FM) provider, are looking to recruit an established Facilities professional to join their major and high profile Government contract across the UK where we provide full "Hard and Soft" Facilities services across the estate, which consist of Offices, Labs, Fisheries, Farming buildings and more.

In this role you will be working within the Account Senior Leadership Team.

The role leads, develops and assures the operational support framework that enables effective Facilities Management (FM) service delivery across the contract. It establishes the processes, systems, information and controls required to support frontline teams and ensure delivery is consistent, visible and properly evidenced.

The postholder leads the Regional Contract Operations Leads, ensuring that the agreed operating model is replicated across each region. The model is built around four integrated pillars: workforce readiness; service control; systems and insight; and assets and assurance.

Working in partnership with the Key Account Portfolio Director, Key Account Management team, Regional Key Account Managers, Regional Facilities Managers and frontline FM teams, the postholder will maintain contract-wide oversight, identify systemic risks, drive corrective action and improve operational effectiveness.

The role’s purpose is to ensure that Contract Operations enables, governs and assures frontline delivery—providing consistent standards, reliable management information, clear accountability and effective operational control across the estate.

This is a fantastic role for either an established operational lead at perhaps Key Account Manager level, or an individual from a Contract Support role who has progressed into management, and is looking for that next step to SLT level.

• A proven record of establishing and managing operational processes, controls, governance and assurance.

• Experience overseeing maintenance planning, corrective and reactive work management, backlogs and billable service activity.
• Experience with CAFM, CMMS, workforce management or comparable operational systems.
• capability in management information, performance analysis, reporting and data-led decision-making
