Salary: Competitive Salary + Sodexo Benefits + On-site Gym
Requires: Full UK Driving Licence
Shape the Future of a Flagship London Estate
This is not a “run the status quo” role.
We’re looking for an Asset & Reliability Manager to take ownership of asset strategy at one of Sodexo’s most high-profile contracts - and turn it into a benchmark for operational excellence.
You’ll be the driving force behind asset performance, lifecycle strategy, and reliability improvement, working at the intersection of engineering, data, and commercial decision-making. This is your opportunity to influence CAPEX strategy, long-term estate planning, and client outcomes at scale.
Why This Role Stands Out
- High visibility, high impact – play a key role in developing a flagship contract
- Strategic influence – shape 5-year lifecycle and capital investment plans
- Client-facing leadership – work directly with senior stakeholders and decision-makers
- Transformation focus – move from reactive maintenance to predictive, data-led performance
- Autonomy & ownership – be the recognised SME for asset management on site
What You’ll Be Responsible For
You’ll lead the end-to-end asset management strategy, ensuring performance, compliance, and long-term value.
Strategic Leadership
- Define and embed the Asset Management Strategy aligned to client and Sodexo objectives
- Develop and own the Local Asset Management Plan (LAMP)
- Drive continuous improvement, innovation, and smarter operating models
Asset Performance & Reliability
- Analyse failure trends and implement root cause and reliability improvements
- Optimise maintenance strategies to reduce downtime and extend asset life
- Build and evolve a best-in-class planned maintenance programme
Data, Systems & Insight
- Own the asset register across CAFM/BIM systems, ensuring accuracy and compliance
- Deliver data-led insights on asset condition, criticality, and performance
- Produce impactful reporting on KPIs, lifecycle, and CAPEX strategy
Lifecycle & Investment Planning
- Develop 5-year lifecycle and asset replacement forecasts
- Support and influence CAPEX business cases and investment decisions
- Ensure asset changes, upgrades, and warranties are fully captured and optimised
Stakeholder & Client Engagement
- Act as the trusted SME in client and stakeholder forums
- Provide technical leadership across engineering and operational teams
- Support a culture of high performance, safety, and continuous improvement
What We’re Looking For
This role suits someone who wants to step beyond pure engineering into a more strategic, commercially influential position.
- Proven experience in Asset Management / Reliability within FM or critical environments
- Strong understanding of building systems, maintenance strategy, and lifecycle planning
- Experience with CAFM, BIM, and data-driven decision making
- Ability to influence senior stakeholders and translate data into commercial insight
- Knowledge of SFG20, statutory compliance, and industry best practice
- IOSH Managing Safely (or equivalent)
- Relevant Asset Management qualification (or working towards)
The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here
- You don’t just maintain assets — you optimise and future-proof them
- You’re comfortable challenging the status quo and driving change
- You combine technical depth with commercial awareness
- You want your work to be visible, valued, and impactful
What You’ll Get
- Competitive salary + full Sodexo benefits package
- Access to on-site gym
- Opportunity to shape a flagship London contract
- A role with real autonomy, visibility, and progression potential
