The role is responsible for creating a safe, efficient, compliant, and high-quality working environment that supports client business objectives, enhances asset value, and aligns with the overarching Group Property Services strategy.

Key Responsibilities

The responsibilities are categorized into core FM domains for clarity.

Strategic and Financial Management

Ensure all property assets and installations comply with relevant South African legislation, including the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), SANS codes, and environmental regulations.

Manage and project-manage minor works, office refurbishments, and co-location projects from inception to snagging and final handover, ensuring adherence to Nedbank policies and project timelines.

Risk, Compliance and Business Continuity

Mitigate operational risks by maintaining and testing Business Continuity Plans (BCP) for the portfolio, ensuring critical facilities can recover from disruptions.
