We are looking for a responsible, flexible, and pragmatic person, able to priorities and ensure tasks are properly completed and recorded. We also expect the highest standards of excellence towards our customers, both internal and external.

Training will be provided and there are opportunities to undertake an IWFM apprenticeship and for career progression within the FM and Fleet function.
