Frederiksberg Municipality is looking for an ambitious team leader who wants to set the professional and managerial direction for the operations team, as the current team leader has been offered an attractive job outside Frederiksberg Municipality.

Experience with planning, analysis, management, and execution of operations and maintenance is sought. As a leader, you are open, listening, and show trust in your employees. You will join a strong professional and social unit, contributing your own experience to help ensure maintenance and optimal operations of municipal properties in Frederiksberg.

With support from 2 technical coordinators, you will assist the unit manager in developing and optimising Property Service and Operations as a cohesive unit along with the other three team leaders, who are responsible for independent teams of craftsmen and caretakers.

As a team leader, you will be the personnel leader and professional sparring partner for 18 technical advisors and operations consultants in the operations team, who together ensure coordination and implementation of energy and maintenance and daily operations and service on the municipal property portfolio. This covers both project, requester, controller, and executor functions with an annual budget for acute and planned works of over DKK 100 million. The team also has a number of development tasks within database-driven property operations, energy efficiencies, and customer service.

A technical background such as a building constructor, engineer, or other experience from the building technical area is seen as an advantage, along with experience leading maintenance and operations of a larger property portfolio and accommodating the diversity among users and tenants. Experience from a politically led organisation is an advantage, but not a requirement.

We expect

• A visible personnel leader who shows trust, involves employees, and sets a common direction
• Clarity about the prioritisation of tasks and resources, ensuring progress and sparring for the team’s operations and maintenance tasks
• A service-minded approach that creates a good dialogue with all levels in the organisation
• Strong communication skills, also in writing, preparing written presentations for many different actors
• The ability to think strategically and drive development and change projects within Facility Management, focusing on property operations and portfolio management
• Experience in negotiations, ensuring progress on projects through solid negotiations that create solutions and progress
• A good handle on quality, time, and financial management of the projects

This role offers the opportunity to influence the development within the operations and property area, as part of a social and dynamic workplace with a significant influence on the design of the workday and a broad interface with exciting development tasks. As a team leader, you will report to the unit manager for Property Service and Operations.
