Ashdown Phillips are looking for an experienced Facilities Manager to take responsibility for a multi-tenanted office building in Leeds.

The Role
You’ll be responsible for the successful FM delivery of a prominent multi-tenanted office building, working closely with occupiers, contractors and an overseas investment client.
The role offers a high level of autonomy, with 4 days a week on site and 1 day of flexibility. This would suit someone who is confident working independently and taking ownership without needing to be closely managed.

- Managing contractors and the wider supply chain
- Managing the service charge budget
- Overseeing outsourced cleaning and hosting contracts
- Managing planned and reactive maintenance
- Supporting and delivering major capex projects
- Managing client and occupier relationships
- Ensuring compliance with relevant UK legislation and property requirements
- Building a strong relationship with the client and becoming a trusted advisor.
- Working closely with the on-site receptionist and wider occupier community
About You
We’re looking for someone with a strong FM background who is comfortable taking ownership of a building and dealing directly with senior stakeholders.
You’ll ideally have:
- Strong commercial/technical FM experience within a UK property environment
- Good knowledge of UK property law and compliance
- Experience managing contractors and supply chains
- Experience managing service charge budgets
- Excellent client and occupier-facing communication skills
- The confidence to challenge and push back when required, while remaining diplomatic and solutions-focused
- A self-sufficient approach and the ability to work autonomously
- Experience within a multi-tenanted commercial office environment
This is a great opportunity for an experienced FM who enjoys having ownership of a building, working closely with clients and occupiers, and being trusted to make decisions and drive things forward.
