Case studies

  • Graduate facilities managers at entry level can expect to earn £18,000 - £22,000. The highest salaries are in London and the South East and in graduate training schemes.
  • Salaries rise with experience and vary according to sector, function and location. Achieving chartered status will result in higher pay. Senior facilities managers may earn £26,000 - £38,000 or up to £60,000 if they have UK-wide responsibilities.
  • The increase in public-private partnership funding has increased opportunities in facilities management and these projects are more likely to offer financial bonuses and better salary increases.
  • Working hours are generally 40 per week, though longer hours may be required on occasion to meet project deadlines or to cover emergencies. Some facilities management roles may require shift work in order to cover 24-hour operations. Meetings and visits may sometimes necessitate out-of-hours working.
  • Additional benefits often include a pension scheme, private health care, performance-related bonuses, company car or car allowance and profit share or share save schemes.
  • Women are slightly under represented in facilities management, but the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM)  does have a ‘Women in FM’ special interest group, which helps with networking and development.
  • Opportunities exist all over the UK in both the public and the private sectors.
  • Travel during the working day may be required in order to visit different premises and absence from home overnight is sometimes necessary.
  • Long-term projects may demand flexibility or relocation.
  • There may be opportunities for overseas travel.
