About the Role:
As our new Facilities Supervisor, you will be the operational backbone of a prestigious CBRE client office in London, delivering exceptional Hard and Soft Facilities Management directly to the occupier. Beyond your local client site, you will act as a key player within our broader global workplace team, collaborating with and supporting FM colleagues across all regions of the world to drive global initiatives.

Despite the high-profile nature of the client site, we pride ourselves on a relaxed work environment, a collaborative team bond, and a genuine commitment to work-life balance. This is a highly visible, hands-on role where you will actively partner with site technicians to practically resolve issues (which includes occasional weekend work). 


What You’ll Do:

Operations & Service Delivery
  • Hands-on Diagnostics: Actively assist site technicians with in-house maintenance tasks (M&E issues, small electrical works, water management, HVAC troubleshooting). Must be comfortable with physical tasks and working at heights (e.g., using ladders) to directly solve physical building issues.
  • Proactive Building Management: Conduct site walkarounds, oversee remedial works, and ensure HVAC/plumbing operate effectively across office premises and the Company Flat.
  • Hard & Soft Services: Assist in managing PPM schedules and reactive repairs. Act as the subcontractor lead for all hard & soft services.
  • Site Support: Lead minor projects and space changes. Support staff onboarding/offboarding, conduct site inductions, and manage the Mail Room.

Financial Management & Reporting
  • Commercial Support: Take ownership of day-to-day financial administration. Request vendor quotes, raise Purchase Orders (POs), and process invoices.
  • Budget Tracking: Actively participate in monthly accruals meetings to ensure accurate financial forecasting and budget alignment.
  • CAFM & Contractor Liaison: Manage site logbooks and the CAFM system (Jira) for accurate work updates and routine PPM completion. Manage external suppliers, compare costs, and present monthly KPI reports to management.

Team Leadership, H&S, & Client Engagement
  • Lead Operations: Supervise site-dedicated cleaning teams, the Facilities Coordinator, the Mail Room, the helpdesk, and daily vendors. Oversee rotas, leave, and ensure SLAs are met.
  • Mentorship: Cross-train staff, guide them through complex procedures, and build a collaborative team environment.
  • Statutory Governance & Emergencies: Ensure 100% compliance with H&S legislation (Risk Assessments, COSHH, RAMS, audits). Act as Fire Warden and First Aider, providing logistics support during emergencies.
  • Relationship Management: Act as the primary escalation point for the landlord, client, and service providers. Collaborate in client governance meetings to enhance service lines.

What You’ll Need:

Experience & Qualifications
  • Relevant experience in a commercial Workplace/FM environment, with demonstrable supervisory experience.
  • IWFM certification is highly desirable.
  • Health & Safety: Must hold an IOSH Managing Safely certificate (or obtain within the first year). NEBOSH is a plus.

Technical & Practical Skills
  • FM & Physical Aptitude: Practical understanding of Hard FM (M&E, HVAC, electrical, water). Willingness and physical ability to engage in manual work alongside technicians for fault diagnosis.
  • Commercial Acumen: Exceptional organizational and mathematical skills to manage budgets, accruals, and calculate sophisticated figures for vendor management.
  • Systems Fluency: Master-level IT literacy, including CAFM systems (Jira), Mac OS, and Google Workspace.
