Cobalt is partnering with a longstanding client of ours in the Build to Rent sector, as they seek to hire a new Facilities Manager for the team in NW England.

With a Greater Manchester base, this hybrid role will see you taking ownership of a portfolio of 4-6 developments, with around 250 units per site. Working in conjunction with the on-site property teams, you'll take the lead in delivering a top tier TFM service across the sites, taking a proactive approach to H&S, maintenance, and sustainability for a market-leading business.

Within the role, you'll find yourself at home with a blue-chip property developer that prides themselves on being an inclusive and supportive employer of choice since their inception.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Setting and maintaining high standards in FM, health & safety, and environmental management

• Overseeing compliance with statutory maintenance obligations

• Monitoring and managing expenditure on materials, provisions, and contracted services

• Managing FM databases (such as FSI) to ensure up-to-date property records

• Conducting inspections, monitoring contractor performance, and ensuring all compliance-related actions are followed through

• Supporting large-scale refurbishment projects and providing cost reports for emergency and reactive repairs

Our client is looking for a forward-thinking FM to invest in - taking your strong foundations in operational FM to the next level. Previous experience in the residential sector is advantageous but not essential, as wider property/hospitality backgrounds will be considered. An IOSH or NEBOSH qualification are necessary, whilst IWFM qualifications and/or memberships would be useful.
