An Overview of Job Responsibilities of a Facility Manager


 
Career
Facility management is a dynamic yet interesting job. It is the responsibility of a facility manager to ensure that the buildings and their services fulfil all the needs of the people working in them. They are responsible for different management services such as cleaning and parking. At the same time, they are responsible for building maintenances such as air conditioning and heating systems. With regards to this, a facility manager is supposed to manage space allocation, safety and security. Let us explore the job role of a facility manager in detail.

Managing space

It is the role of a company or an organisation to decide who to appoint. But, a facility manager has to find the newly hire a workspace. Based on the structure of the company or organisation, the facility manager may assign the employee to a laboratory, living quarter, a clinical space or an office. It is the responsibility of the manager to plan space allocation needs, shifting existing occupants or taking out unwanted occupants.

Maintaining

The facility manager has to make sure that the space is clean and healthy. For instance, he has to make sure that all the housekeeping duties are done properly such as trash are removed, air conditioning systems work and toilets flush. Preventive maintenance is one of his responsibilities. If a facility manager works in a larger organisation, he has employees under his supervision to change air-conditioning filters and fix the toilets.

On the other hand, if he works in a smaller firm, he has to perform all the tasks himself.

Constructing and renovating

Whereas an additional duty of a facility manager is concerned, he has to plan for organisational growth. For instance, if the company needs a new space to expand its operations, as a manager, it is his responsibility to work with the construction manager or architects to design and build it. He has to convey the needs of the occupants to the designers and builders. New occupants may want to get their space revamped. In between, a manager needs to negotiate the price and contract specifications with the contractor. He also needs to make sure that the contractor does not irritate the existing occupants. He has to check with the completed project as well.

Ensuring safety

There are many organisations where the facility supervisors have to act as the safety managers. He has to work with the government to ensure the buildings and residences follow the government rules and regulations. The regulations include building codes, fire codes and food codes. He monitors fire drills and inspects this.

Managing security

The facility supervisors have the responsibility to assign keys or electronic keys such as biometrics or card swipe. He also has to supervise the installation of security systems.

Job scopes for facility managers

There is a huge chance for facility managers to flourish in this field. It is possible for him to supervise one single building or several buildings together. As a manager, he can work in different organisations like nursing homes, apartment complexes or at a university. On the other hand, there are openings in hospitals, corporations and private industry. All of these organisations want someone to supervise the interior and exterior of the building such as landscaping, sidewalks and parking facilities. It is not necessary to do the jobs oneself but the manager can interact with those who will perform the tasks.

At the beginning of your career, you can look out for trainee facilities management jobs to strengthen your foundation.

In due course, if you can grow good working relationships with several people, this could be good for your career. In order to find a good position as a facility manager, you need to have good organisation expertise. Simultaneously, you need to have good customer and client management skills.

So, do not wait long and find the best career opportunity as a facility manager.
