• A minimum of 5 years’ experience in facilities coordination or retail operations (multi‑site experience strongly preferred).
• Strong organisational and multitasking skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships across stores, head office, and external partners.
• Solid technical understanding of building systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, general maintenance).
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and facilities management software.
• The ability to prioritise and adapt in a fast‑paced retail environment.
• A strong knowledge of Health & Safety and environmental best practices.
• Membership to the IWFM preferred but not essential.
