Job description

Job Title: Facilities Management (FM) Coordinator - Contract

We are currently seeking an experienced Facilities Management (FM) Coordinator to support a client site in Gepps Cross.
This role will act as a key on-site liaison, ensuring smooth coordination between all stakeholders and minimal disruption to business operations throughout the works.
Importantly, this is not a project management or construction delivery role. Instead, the focus is on site coordination, communication, and operational readiness.


Key Responsibilities


Site Coordination & Liaison


  • Act as the primary point of contact between client operations, landlord project managers, contractors, and security teams

  • Facilitate clear communication across all stakeholders to ensure alignment on project activities and site requirements

  • Represent the occupier's interests during all phases of the works


Operational Readiness


  • Coordinate site preparation ahead of scheduled works (primarily weekends), including:

    • Access arrangements and approvals

    • Safety and compliance confirmations

    • Site readiness checks

  • Ensure minimal disruption to day-to-day operations


Project Support & Communication


  • Attend and contribute to weekly coordination meetings with stakeholders

  • Provide regular updates on project progress and any operational impacts

  • Manage and distribute communications relating to site access, disruptions, and safety updates


Post-Works Site Management


  • Conduct post-weekend inspections to confirm site is operationally ready

  • Identify and escalate any issues or defects impacting business operations

  • Coordinate any required follow-up actions


Stakeholder Engagement


  • Build strong working relationships with internal teams and external contractors

  • Ensure all parties are informed, aligned, and operating efficiently within site requirements

Working Arrangement


This role is expected to follow a structured but flexible schedule, including:


  • Onsite presence: Monday and Friday (coordination and site checks)

  • Mid-week (Wednesday): Coordination, meetings, and administrative support (onsite and/or remote)

  • Weekend support: On-call availability (primarily remote), with potential onsite attendance if required


Please note this structure may evolve in line with the final project program.

Key Requirements:


  • Previous experience in Facilities Management, Site Coordination, or similar roles

  • Experience working in live operational environments during maintenance or construction works

  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills

  • Ability to coordinate multiple parties and manage competing priorities

  • Confident working autonomously and making decisions on-site

  • High attention to detail, particularly around safety and operational readiness

  • Flexibility to support occasional after-hours or weekend activities
