- Collaborate with operations managers to align with business objectives, monitor performance, and oversee the tendering process to ensure high-quality and competitive submissions.
Requirements
- Strong background in contract management, operations oversight, and driving profitability within a multi-site environment, ideally within the grounds maintenance, landscaping, FM, waste management, or service industries.
- Demonstrated ability to manage budgets, forecast sales, and optimise financial performance, with a focus on achieving growth and cost control.
- Experience in identifying and capitalising on business opportunities, building long-term client relationships, and ensuring high customer satisfaction.
- Ability to lead cross-functional teams, align operations with business goals, and effectively manage the tendering and quoting processes.
