• At its core, FM can be divided into two distinct yet interconnected categories: Soft FM and Hard FM.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage all FM procurement categories including catering, cleaning, maintenance, utilities, and waste

• Resolve supplier performance issues and risks with agility and professionalism
• Provide commercial leadership throughout bids, tenders, and mobilisation phases
• Foster strong relationships with suppliers to ensure performance, quality, and value

Qualifications and Experience:

• 5 years' experience in procurement or supply chain management—ideally within facilities, energy, or remote operations
• Proven leadership and management skills with the ability to guide teams and engage stakeholders
• Strong negotiation and commercial acumen
• Tertiary qualifications in Procurement, Supply Chain, or Business (Diploma minimum; Degree preferred)
