• Manage, motivate, and develop vendor and indirect team members to meet and improve performance objectives
• Build and maintain strong relationships with all stakeholders — client, occupants, supply chain, and JLL colleagues

Safety & Compliance

• Champion and drive a proactive safety culture across the site
• Implement JLL HSE standards and ensure all safety requirements are embedded in day-to-day operations
• Report all accidents, near misses, and emergencies in line with required protocols

• Experience in a change management or mobilisation environment is a strong advantage
• Sound understanding of Health, Safety, and Environmental legislation and requirements
• Small works and project management experience within an FM setting

Skills & Behaviours

• Fluent in Danish and English (written and spoken) — essential
• Excellent communication skills; able to engage, present, and negotiate confidently at all levels
• Strong leadership presence — visible, decisive, and able to inspire commitment in others
• Commercially minded, with the ability to identify opportunities for cost efficiency and service improvement
• Technically literate; proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook)
