Assistant Facilities Manager - Kolkata

What this job involves:

Leading daily property operations

Are you a seasoned facilities expert with solid leadership skills? Working with a team, you'll manage the daily client activities for the assigned property or facility. Likewise, you will implement building procedures and performance measures—and ease the path for compliance with these. You'll also boost on-site operations by promoting best practices and developing better processes. On top of these, you'll be at the helm of property safety by encouraging adherence to health and safety standards.

Getting the clients' thumbs up

You'll be working frequently with clients—that's why you'll need to build strong relationships with them. You'll be expected to proactively make sure that the clients' expectations are always met. You'll also serve as the main point of contact for any facilities-related concerns.

Keeping an eye on contracts and the budget

Do you have a proven track record in finance management? In this role, you will take charge of the site's budget, accounting and financial operations. You'll also coordinate with vendors and suppliers to ensure that they comply with the procurement processes and deliver quality work practices according to the contract and budget.

Fostering teamwork and excellence

Teamwork has always been our secret recipe for success, and the ideal candidate should stand up for this core value. As the person in charge, you will support our people's growth and development through training and coaching sessions. You'll also uphold a culture that thrives on collaboration, cooperation and performance excellence. Furthermore, you'll ensure that the team is constantly motivated, and that trust and work ethics prevail among members.

Keeping up the pace

You'll set the facility management team on the right track through ample engineering planning and management. You'll drive success in terms of functionality and stability by finding new ways to improve the system and making sure that everyone knows where they stand. You need to ensure that team members can efficiently respond to all engineering challenges, at the same time comply with the policies and procedures. You'll bring out the team player in you to keep all key performances in check.

All eyes on the plan

You'll ensure that all risk mitigation plans are in place. Do such plans comply with our clients' designated procedures and policies? Are all engineering reports in order? You constantly need to monitor and evaluate all critical environment equipment across the account's site to make sure everything is running smoothly as possible. Tracking review reports should also keep you busy, as doing so is instrumental in implementing improvement plans across the sites.

Taking facilities operations up a notch

Maintaining high-quality facilities operations is your top priority. To achieve this, you'll work closely with facilities managers to keep the reliability of facilities operations. You're in charge of reviewing the planned preventive maintenance programmes, as well as ensuring that service standards are aligned and maintained with regional operations procedures. You'll also be responsible for quality assurance by keeping the M&E systems in check.

Risks under control

Being a manager also requires you to be on top of your risk management game. Are there any major M&E equipment risks? Is information uploaded into our systems accurate and complies with the audit process? Is the disaster recovery and business continuity planning implemented and reviewed periodically? Are escalation procedures observed? These are just some of the questions that you constantly need to ask yourself as our risk management
