About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Property Lead to support the delivery of new regional offices for a leading UK energy organisation. This is an exciting interim opportunity where you'll take ownership of setting up small regional offices, ensuring they are functional, well-branded, and aligned with the organisation's identity.

You will also support wider property initiatives across other sites in the UK.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the setup of new regional offices across the UK (typically 6-10 people), ideally in Cardiff, Exeter, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, and Norwich.
Work with regional teams to confirm preferred locations.
Source, assess, and negotiate serviced office options (e.g., Regus-style spaces).
Oversee office setup including equipment, furniture, branding, and signage.
Coordinate with internal teams (branding, comms, property) to ensure a consistent identity across sites.
Support existing projects across other UK locations.
Act as the central point of coordination to keep programmes on track.
Ideal Candidate
Strong project management skills (non-IT focused).
Background in facilities management or commercial property.
Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple workstreams.
Comfortable with site visits and property negotiations.
Flexible, adaptable, and hands-on in approach.
Additional Information
Offices are small-scale, but branding is key to creating a professional environment.
Travel expenses will be reimbursed in line with contractor policy (e.g., mileage or train fares).
