REVISED - Director of Hard FM Services/future Managing Director - Facilities Management – Oxfordshire/London

Salary: Maximum £85,500 plus up to 50% bonus (possibly more!)
Location: Base office can be either London or Banbury, Oxfordshire. Some home-working permitted.


THE COMPANY AND SITUATION:

A leading international provider of critical support services for public authorities and corporate organisations requires a professional of director calibre, highly experienced in the world of Hard Services in Facilities Management, to head up, develop and grow their Hard FM division. The career opportunity here is the genuine prospect of moving up to a Managing Director role in the short to medium term.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:

The essential experience required for this role is as follows:

• A fully-qualified chartered engineer, holding CURRENT FULL CHARTERED STATUS (please do not apply without this)
• A career in the Hard FM industry: Highly experienced in the provision and operations of Facilities Management Hard Services (Not relevant I’m afraid is a background solely in construction project management. Relevant areas are: Engineering, M&E, electrical fabric, HVAC, advising on maintenance and statutory regulation of plant.)
• A background in permanent employment as opposed to short-term interim work.
• Business Development experience, in that you have previously built or grown a business in this area before. When have you taken a business unit and grown it? When have you assisted in winning new business?
• Previously managed an entire company or at least managed a business unit within a large company
• Strong staff management experience and superb people skills: You’ll need to develop the policies and procedures AND then manage the teams of people that deliver them!
• Previously held full Profit and Loss responsibility

Please note the above attributes are essential – you require all of the above to be eligible for this role.

Desirable, but not essential, is having worked in Hard FM across variety of sectors, for example retail, commercial and government.


THE ROLE:

Your task here is quite simply, to head up, develop and grow the Hard FM division of this big-name, blue-chip, global brand. Your job is to see the bigger picture and forecast where you can drive things to from a Hard FM point of view, but also to sell something you can deliver (as opposed to over-promising!). The role is coming up with the sales approach, but then strategically being able to manage that through your own business unit.
Please note this is NOT an out-and-out sales role! We want someone with a slightly “salesy” aspect to their personality and abilities, but not to the extent of, for example, having worked on a bid team. The role is less sales-oriented than a bid manager, but more sales-oriented than those who are purely technical would usually tend to be. A good example is perhaps you were a Technical Director, but then moved up into Regional Director/MD role in a smaller business and are now applying for this because you would like to get in to a bigger company.


THE OPPORTUNITY:

Managing Director! The opportunity here is, quite genuinely, to move up into the role of Managing Director in one of two ways:

Either, to grow your area to the extent that you have created a business unit over which you will have complete autonomy and of which you would become Managing Director, Hard FM. Alternatively, move up in to your boss’s job! In this role you would be reporting to the existing Managing Director of technical services. Someone who develops this role would be the “natural successor” to move up into his role in a predicted timescale of approximately 2-3 years.

The bonus potential here (up to 50%, possibly more) is also completely genuine: Your hiring manager, the MD, has the remit to award such bonuses on the basis of both your individual performance and the performance of your business unit.

Longer-term opportunities here come from the fact that this is a global brand expanding and moving forward. Join here in this ground floor situation and grow with the business.
