Serving as the backbone of the facility, you'll sit at the bottom of a wide range of responsibilities, from managing contracts to keeping the day-to-day operations—including facilities and equipment, M&E matters, housekeeping, conference rooms—in tip-top shape. This is why a strong grip with the service structure will come in handy especially when dealing with issues related to operating expenditures.

Part of your usual concerns include the maintenance all records related to the performance of facility management operations on the site.

Managing working relationships—the right way

Your ability to deal with clients, vendors and onsite personnel carries a huge impact on your success as facility manager. Among the things that you need to stay on top of are whether subcontractors are meeting their commitments on the scheduled delivery of trainings or they have a planned, structured and solution-based approach to maintenance services. Also, you will audit subcontractors on the quality of materials and upkeep of the site.

You'll will coordinate with the HR department and the Operations Manager and make recommendations for future trainings to be given to the site facility management team.
