Wonderful information. It's difficult to find someone who has knowledge of facilities management, and I think you nailed most of this! I have an interview this week for a facilities management position for another organization, and this was very helpful.
Thank you for another great video, one thing I would like to add is dress for the position in the interview if you are applying to a tech lvl dress appropriate, over dressing can hurt you just as much as not dressing up enough If that makes sense example would be I interviewed someone for a tech position and they showed up in dirty Pants and a button up shirt but it was not buttoned up at all, not a good first impression
Great video! I have a bit different but related question. I worked nearly 4 years directly under an infrastructure manager and now for a year I'm working on a new place where we don't have a facility manager. Next year we are moving into a new building where I would like to be the facility manager. What's your advice to pitch the idea for the company? Currently we are very unorganised and I have about 6 years of 5S and lean manufacturing experience along the 4 years under the infrastructure manager doing maintenance, quality and safety improvements all across a 12k sqm (about 130k sqf) facility.
Appreciate that! It's great that you're aiming to step into the facility manager role at your new location. Given your experience, you're in a strong position to pitch this idea effectively. Here's how you might approach it: To pitch yourself as the Facility Manager, start by pinpointing the current issues and use your 5S, lean manufacturing, and facility management experience to propose solutions. Put together a simple plan showing how you’d streamline operations, boost safety, and manage the move to the new building. Everybody wants to see an "ROI/ROR/ROE" etc" Then, ask for a quick chat to present your ideas, maybe even suggest a small project to prove your approach..think of it like an 'earn out strategy.' I know it sounds cliche and cheesy but, before you can do, you must be, so be the person they need for that role :) Best of luck and happy to chat further if you want!
@@facilityvalley Thank you for the advice. The current system...let's call it dirty garage work...is lacking anything that can give a proper feedback of wasted hours, people doing jobs that are not in their descriptions and tool costs, some people just ordering stuff without assesing if actually it's neeeded or not. Also I'm already researching the CMMS system that would fit our needs as in my opinion even a new building need a proper PM plan. Small project I already did. On my previous job we used to build production line parts fit the need as well as complete new line too, and whit this knowledge on production area I replaced some of the old dodgy looking movable tables with some customized shelving units and that costed around 1500€ but reduced the build time with about 25% which is around 3000€ gain on that production run. For sure there is a lot and just looking at some of the issues I can tell them what they could expect as improvement but as there is no current data avialble I need to see how I can prove them it will work.
