Hi,
I'm in the Facility Management profession, and am curious as to how this translates in Perú. Can anyone tell me what the most common job title is for someone who effectively manages buildings? In the US, such folks are called Facility Managers. I am a Facility Services Coordinator, and work under a Facility Manager, but some Facility Services Coordinators are effectively Facility Managers.
Is "gerente de edificios" suitable, or might some other term be better. To be fair, it really is a "catch-all" position, though we like to call it "multi-disciplinary". Maybe the various activities are divided among different roles in Peruvian businesses?
For those not familiar with the profession, we typically oversee the following:
- Building systems (electrical, plumbing, climate control, etc.)
- Grounds management (parking lot, landscaping, etc.)
- Occupant services (janitorial, break room, conference room setups, maintenance, etc.)
- Life Safety Systems (fire, security systems and guard services)
- Sustainability (anything pertaining to environmental impact of a building)
- Construction, renovation and occupant moves
- Special events support
Thanks!
