Do Not Let Your Children Grow Up to Be Facility Managers: A Lighthearted Perspective The Realities of Facility Management Facility management is a profession that is often overlooked, yet it plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of the built environment.

It offers opportunities for growth, innovation, and the satisfaction of overcoming daily obstacles. Finally, while the profession might not sound glamorous, it is indispensable.

I would love to hear your thoughts. Whether you are a seasoned facility manager or someone considering this career path, please join the conversation by leaving a comment below. P.S. The idea for this title came from the song "Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys." The song was written by Ed Bruce and his wife Patsy Bruce. It was originally recorded by Ed Bruce in 1975 and later became a major hit for Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings in 1978. As an avid fan of country music, I found this a fitting and fun way to introduce the topic. #FacilityManagement #FacilityManagerChallenges #BuiltEnvironment #CountryMusic

🌙🦅 🌒🌓🌔 A Facility Manager is like a stage director, ensuring that every system of the building operates smoothly under their direction. However, the stage is not just a place of work; it also becomes a space where people live their lives, share their emotions. The Facility Manager works tirelessly to make this stage safe, comfortable, productive, and sustainable. Their efforts are felt in every corner of the building, under every beam, in every lightbulb's glow. Because this is not just a building, but a space where people live, a world they experience. And the Facility Manager rolls up their sleeves to create the best version of this world. We are grateful for successful Facility Managers who are dedicated to their work with passion. #FacilityManagement #PeopleCentered #Sustainability

Another building. Another tragedy. We've seen this before. We know what to do. In fact, we've known what to do for a long time. But we still don't do it. We need more Facility Managers. Prof Bugri was right. Facility Managers are those with the specialized knowledge to oversee the built environment and ensure that structures are safe and sustainable. Without them, our buildings are ticking time bombs waiting to collapse. So if you're considering a career path, consider Facility Management. Be the solution to a preventable problem.

🌒🌓🌔Turning Challenges into Opportunities: The Power of Facility Managers! They say every crisis is an opportunity. As facility managers, we don't just say this, we live by it as a philosophy. Every challenge that comes our way opens a window of opportunity for us. Budget constraints, technological changes, security concerns... These are merely guiding lights, not obstacles. The road to success isn't always smooth; sometimes, it resembles a construction site filled with obstacles. We, as facility managers, are here every day to overcome the challenges we face. We embrace each challenge, developing solution-oriented approaches. Budget constraints turn into opportunities for savings and efficiency, while technological changes open doors to new and more effective systems. Security concerns encourage us to take more comprehensive and robust measures. Remember, no challenge is insurmountable for a facility manager. Each challenge makes us stronger, more creative, and more determined. We, as facility managers, are here to turn challenges into opportunities. 💡💼 #ChallengesIntoOpportunities #FacilityManagement #SolutionFocused

To celebrate World Facilities Management Day, we caught up with Momentum Maintain’s Facilities Management Director, Matthew Pilling, to get an insight into how he got into the industry and his advice for those seeking out a career in FM:   How did you get into Facilities Management?   I joined the industry straight out of university, on a graduate scheme at Carillion. After doing a module at university on Facilities Management I decided it was the career for me. In my experience, it is quite rare for someone to go into the industry straight away, with most coming from a security background.   What is your favourite part of working within FM?   Definitely the variety. I can go from working on a £100k refurbishment project in Sheffield, straight to solving fire alarm issues on Church Street in Liverpool, and then to meeting a new client, so it is never the same every day. Ultimately, we are here to serve the clients’ needs so the work changes daily and constant variety, which is what I like!   Can you share some advice for those looking to start a career in the sector?   When I was in my graduate role at Carillion, someone said to me “you’ve got all the intelligence to be able to do the job, but no experience. You can learn everything you can through a textbook, but you need experience to learn and have the confidence to put that into place.” – and this really stuck with me. Embrace the industry, understand systems from the ground up, go out and live it, and get that invaluable first-hand experience.    It is important not to forget that we are a service industry. The cleaner is vitally important, and on par with the director leading the business, so everyone should be treated equally and with the same respect.    Finally, don’t be scared to break the mould or do things differently. It’s okay to try new things and learn from them.    #FacilitiesManagement #MomentumMaintain #FM #FMDay The Momentum Group
