We are seeking a results-driven Helpdesk Manager to lead our central Facilities Management (FM) Helpdesk. The helpdesk acts as the core operational hub for our building services, processing end-to-end maintenance and estates workflows for our clients.

You will take full operational ownership of the department—leading a high-performing helpdesk team, managing service escalations, monitoring performance metrics, and optimizing our central CAFM system to ensure all tasks are resolved within contractual SLAs and KPIs.

Key Responsibilities

    SLA & KPI Compliance: Monitor operations to ensure all reactive and planned preventative maintenance (PPM) tasks are addressed efficiently. Analyze trends to drive continuous service improvement.

  * 

    CAFM System Ownership: Act as the internal system expert. Ensure data integrity, audit the asset database, oversee upgrades, and train staff on system functionality.

  * 

    Escalation & Client Care: Resolve complex customer complaints or service delays. Maintain strong relationships with clients, contractors, and technical supervisors.

  * 

    Financial Administration: Oversee the coding and processing of invoices, manage monthly financial reports (rechargeable works, accruals), and control department procurement.

Person Specification

  * 

    Management Experience: Proven track record managing a helpdesk, customer service team, or busy office—ideally within Facilities Management or Property Services.

  * 

    Software Competency: Direct experience working with CAFM, IWMS, or CRM data systems, alongside overall computer literacy (Excel, Word).

  * 

    Contractual Awareness: Practical experience working with maintenance frameworks, tracking KPIs, and managing workflows via mobile/PDA engineering systems.

  * 

    Communication & Leadership: Exceptional interpersonal skills. Comfortable addressing senior stakeholders, translating technical data into clear reports, and leading a team under pressure.

Desirable Criteria:

  * 

    Previous experience within a commercial property management or building services environment.

  * 

    Knowledge of performance metrics platforms (such as Power BI) or team-coaching frameworks.
