About the role

We are looking for an experienced and proactive FM Operations Manager to join our Corporate Property team, with a particular focus on the operational management of County Hall.

This is a hands-on facilities management role where you will help ensure that our building remain safe, compliant, well maintained and fit for the people who use them.

You will:

  • Oversee planned, preventative and reactive maintenance.
  • Manage contractors, including site access, inductions, risk assessments and method statements.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
