Bringing maximum value through excellent service delivery

Beyond daily maintenance, your ultimate focus is to provide professional, value-focused service that helps us meet—and go beyond—the client’s expectations.

Lending your business acumen, you’ll advise the client on future maintenance budgets, so you’ll need to be in tuned with the organization’s ins and outs, goals and overall direction. Your expertise in the world of contracts would be incredibly useful, as you’ll also get your hands on defining terms and conditions, operational scope and documents for annual maintenance contracts. Along with this, you’ll run successful tendering exercises that will help you find the right subcontractors. You’ll also carry out comparative analysis and make recommendations to the client on the most appropriate subcontractors.

Plus, it’s your job to develop service level agreements (SLAs) and assist our procurement experts in closing these agreements with vendors. While in the process, you’ll consider: Is the team deployed by the vendor made up of the right resources—in terms of level and scale—to deliver quality services?

Playing the role of a strategic operator, you will also craft annual cost-saving goals in energy usage and maintenance operations. Coordinating with specialist professionals to ensure compliance with minimum wage acts for payments and regulations falls into your hands as well.

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. You’ll prepare and review the preventive maintenance register on a monthly basis and update the operations manager. You’ll also liaise with our Finance team and that of the client’s for client billing and invoicing. You will also be in touch with the client representatives for the payments.
