- Manage the delivery of premises-related projects, ensuring high-quality outcomes within budget and timelines.
- Drive revenue generation through lettings and associated activities, maximizing opportunities for income across the trust.
- Implement effective systems for managing facilities requests and maintaining operational efficiency.
- Provide hands-on support for urgent or minor maintenance tasks as needed.
What We’re Looking For:
- Proven experience in estates or facilities management, preferably in an education or multi-site setting.
- Strong knowledge of health and safety regulations and compliance.
- Excellent project management and budgeting skills.
- Exceptional leadership and team management abilities.
- Hands-on problem-solving skills with a proactive approach.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to work effectively with diverse stakeholders.
What We Offer:
- The opportunity to make a significant impact across multiple schools.
- A supportive and collaborative working environment.
- Professional development opportunities to help you grow and succeed in your role.
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
