A facilities manager is a person who works as a professional to handle the daily operations in a facility or commercial property. These professionals make sure that the facility functions are going perfectly. They generally watch out for large facilities or complexes. They may be responsible for a school, office, housing or shopping complex, hospital or warehouse.
The role of Facilities Manager can be both strategic-tactical and operational. The strategic-tactical aspect deals with informing clients and users of business risk and the potential impact of facilities decisions, the operational aspect deals with compliance and facilities operations. A company’s facilities may be managed by a single individual or by a facilities management team, and services may be delivered by dedicated in-house professionals or outsourced partially or fully to external providers.
Facilities Managers can be found working predominantly for a facilities management provider or as a direct employee managing a facilities management team internally. Management of contractors is critical to the role. This occupation excludes positions that predominantly involve the management of the provision of only one particular service to a facility or managing one particular relationship. For example, a position that manages the cleaning contract for a facility but has no other contracts relevant to the facility will not be assessed positively.
