New appointment at Chelsea Harbour

We extend a warm welcome to Ariff Khairuddin, who joins the Q3 team at Chelsea Harbour as Facilities Administrator.

This is his first full week in the job, and we wish him every future success on this flagship contract.

Ariff secured the role against strong competition, ahead of over 300 candidates who showed initial interest via an online recruitment advertisement.

However, by taking advantage our relationship with our client Maximus, who onboarded us as a strategic national employer account,  Q3 was able to tap into the resources of Maximus UK’s employability support through the Restart Scheme, to create a meaningful shortlist and find exactly the right candidate.

Interestingly, Ariff did not have any previous experience of the Facilities Management industry, but that was not important to us. Our job brief was very specific. At Chelsea Harbour, our entire contract runs extremely efficiently on the Facilio CAFM platform which has been customised and deployed to meet the entire needs of this unique, mixed-use, retail, office and residential site.

Ariff’s experience and skillsets as a data analyst were exactly what we were looking for in a position that manages a massive data-driven operation, covering PPMs, compliance and a myriad of tasks each week.

Commenting on the appointment, Lucy Hayes HR director said, “Employability do a great job sourcing and vetting and ensuring we get a great fit for any role.”

Martin Spence, Account Manager for Maximus, said “It’s been a pleasure partnering with Q3 Services to support Ariff into a fantastic new role, one that truly has the potential to take his career to the next level. It’s another great reminder that businesses don’t need to spend big on agency fees when talented individuals like Ariff are ready and waiting for the right opportunity.”
