The Role & Key Responsibilities

Are you looking to start your career within Facilities Management (FM) or looking to expand your current FM skills within a new environment? Do you want to make a positive contribution to your local community? if so, we may be able to help you fulfil your aspirations as one of two Facilities Works Co-ordinator vacancies within Surrey Police.

The Facilities Works Co-ordinators form part of the wider Facilities Service Delivery Team working within the Estates & Facilities Department. Responsible for delivering pro-active and pre-planned building improvement projects (including site refurbishments, redevelopment and decommissioning activities) which will add value and enhance the built environment for our Operational colleagues. Supporting Estates & Facilities led projects across the Surrey estate, you will be working alongside local Departmental teams in both Surrey & Sussex immersing yourself in the diverse world of soft FM service delivery. A key aspect of the role will be the inclusion within the Local Facilities Team ‘on-call’ service.

You will be based out of Mount Browne (Surrey Police Headquarters) and will be responsible for undertaking works across properties within the Surrey estate. Therefore, an essential criteria for the role is that you hold a full driver’s licence and have the ability to pass a Police driving assessment.

You will be self-motivated with excellent planning and organising skills, to effectively manage your scheduled workload whilst having an ability to adapt to changing priorities when required. Excellent communication skills will be key to successfully delivering the mobile service to our Stakeholders.

We take pride in our working environment and a sense of ownership and personal responsibility are vital in maintaining and improving the standards for our key stakeholders.

We are keen to invest in your career development and offer our staff, FM based training, as well as Force and Departmental specific courses.
