Mitie Landscapes has an exciting opportunity to join our team at the UK's market leading FM company. Reporting to the Contracts Manager, you will be supporting them in ensuring the team delivers exceptional service every day. You will be working in partnership with Canal & River Trust, the UK's largest canal charity, who care for a 2,000-mile network of stunning canals and navigable rivers, connecting many of the UK's urban and rural areas, providing essential spaces for wildlife and people, helping us all feel happier and healthier.
