  • Excellent communicator with the ability to build trust quickly
  • Skilled at spotting upsell opportunities and identifying client needs
  • Confident in managing your own pipeline and working autonomously
  • Passionate about delivering best‑in‑class FM services

What’s in It for You?

  • Competitive salary + performance bonus
  • Strong benefits package
  • Nationwide flexibility (role can be based anywhere in Ireland)
  • Long-term career progression in a respected FM organisation
  • Supportive environment focused on growth, wellbeing, and development
  • Opportunity to shape major FM partnerships and work with major clients

If you have the drive, the operational FM experience, and the relationship‑building skills to match, this could be an ideal next step in your career. We’d love to hear from you – please apply today or reach out directly to Laura for a confidential conversation. 087 9004108
