Our recent engagements include:

• Development of CREFM procurement strategies for high profile, multi-billion dollar facilities and workplace services transformation programmes.

• Creation and implementation of a procurement strategy for a global private sector tender of CRE & FM activities across the organisations entire real estate portfolio, including preparation of tender materials through to supplier negotiations.

There has never been a more exciting time to work with our clients on the challenges they face.
Our clients’ Real Estate and FM teams are supporting their organisations to evolve to embrace the future of work and adapt to post-pandemic ways of working. Their employees are acting as consumers, making choices about when / how / why they consume space and physical space can play a key role in attracting talent for the best organisations. However, the economic environment provides critical challenges such as the need to significantly reduce cost, through leveraging new / lower cost locations, reducing portfolio size, restructuring the supply chain and service delivery models and making an impact on the bottom line by lowering operational spend.

These are generational challenges for our clients in the private sector, with which they need our support.

• You will engage with senior stakeholder of organisations

The breadth, strategic importance and complexity of our clients’ challenges mean we work with colleagues from across Deloitte (e.g. Human Capital, Digital), and engage with the C-suite in our clients’ organisations. We frequently engage with CEOs, COOs, CFOs, HR Directors of FTSE 100 organisations.

We take personal development seriously, offering a comprehensive range of learning and development opportunities within a stretching yet highly supportive environment.
