Facilities & Maintenance Manager BLUF51228

Our client is wholly owned by the Alireza family, one of the oldest and respected trading families in Saudi Arabia. They have successfully developed market-leading positions in trading, manufacturing and service industries throughout Saudi Arabia and the GCC.

Created in 1976, it’s a holding company with headquarters in Jeddah and branches in Riyadh and Al Khobar in KSA, as well as Qatar, Bahrain and UAE, from where it serves all of the wider Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region. It embraces a diversified group of businesses, which are among the market leaders in each of their respective fields.

An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a qualified electrician to expand their skill set into a Facilities & Maintenance Manager for the Alireza Tower located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.  They are looking for candidates currently based in the UK who are looking to relocate.

Reporting to the General Manager, you will focus on preventative maintenance, office refurbishment, building control / quality and financial management, before evolving into a property portfolio upgrade programme as well as subsidiary factory maintenance and installation as and when required.

You will identify areas not currently meeting standards and improve processes to drive a strong and robust Maintenance Program and will develop, implement and analyse systems to improve building maintenance, building control and reliability, while guaranteeing Safety, Health and Environmental standards.

In addition, you will own and manage the maintenance budget and team whilst delivering asset improvements, and asset care to deliver safe working conditions for employees. Building control standards will also be an essential role as new tenants refurbish and change office layouts.

This role demands an individual who has strong communication and interpersonal skills along with previous department or team leadership experience. With the ability to effectively manage and coordinate multiple functions, you will be able to read building plans, engineering drawings and computer generated reports and be willing to complete training and master skills that are required for this position.

A project management certification and financial acumen is highly desirable but by no means essential, however they do ask that you have deep understanding and practical electrical experience in BS 7671 & BS 5839 (Fire alarm systems).
