1What this role really is

This role is all about making sure we've got the right amount of space for our people, in the right places, and that it's actually being used well. You'll be the one translating fuzzy headcount numbers into actual desks and meeting rooms, making sure our buildings work for us, not the other way around. It's a bit like playing Tetris with real offices and real people, but with much higher stakes.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

IWMS/CAFM (e.g., Archibus, iOFFICE, Planon)Intermediate

Daily data entry for MAC requests, running pre-built occupancy reports, updating floor plans with employee assignments, and ensuring data integrity for your assigned areas.

CAD Software (e.g., AutoCAD, basic Revit)Intermediate

Reading, editing, and poly-lining floor plans in AutoCAD. You'll be making minor updates to existing drawings, creating basic test fits, and performing area calculations. You'll also need to be able to read and understand Revit models.

Data Visualization (e.g., Power BI, Tableau)Basic

Building simple charts and dashboards using clean, pre-prepared data sources to show current occupancy, vacancy, and basic utilisation trends. You'll be pulling data and presenting it clearly.

Spreadsheet Software (Microsoft Excel)Advanced

Mastery of Excel for creating stacking plans, detailed move lists, basic headcount forecasts, and performing complex data analysis using functions like VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, and conditional formatting.

Occupancy Sensors (e.g., Density, VergeSense dashboards)Basic

Monitoring dashboards from these platforms to pull weekly utilisation reports for specific floors or neighbourhoods, helping you understand how space is actually being used.

Project Management Tools (e.g., Asana, MS Project)Basic

Updating tasks, timelines, and status reports for your MAC projects. You'll be tracking your own work and contributing to overall project visibility.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Standard MAC Request (e.g., 1-5 person move)Executes based on clear instructions; escalates any deviation.Independently plans, coordinates, and executes the move; informs manager of progress.Oversees multiple MACs; resolves complex conflicts; defines process improvements.
Floor Plan Updates (minor changes, e.g., desk re-arrangement)Updates existing drawings under direct supervision.Independently creates and updates floor plans based on approved requests; ensures IWMS sync.Designs new layouts/test fits for entire departments; ensures compliance with standards.
Data Discrepancy Resolution (e.g., HR vs. IWMS headcount)Flags discrepancies to supervisor; assists with data collection.Investigates, identifies root cause, and proposes solutions to reconcile data; executes reconciliation with approval.Develops and implements processes to prevent future discrepancies; leads cross-functional data governance.
Initial Space Utilisation RecommendationsPulls pre-defined reports on utilisation for review.Analyses data, identifies trends, and proposes initial, data-backed recommendations to manager.Develops comprehensive strategies for space optimisation; presents recommendations to senior leadership.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

IWMS Data Accuracy
How accurate your data entries are in our Integrated Workplace Management System (like Archibus or Planon). This means making sure floor plans, employee assignments, and space types are correct.
Target · 98% accuracy or higher for all updates

You update 50 employee assignments in Archibus. If 49 are correct and one is wrong, that's 98% accuracy. We're aiming for near-perfection here, honestly.

MAC Request Turnaround Time
The average time it takes you to process and action standard Move, Add, Change (MAC) requests, from receiving the ticket to updating the system and notifying Facilities.
Target · Average <48 hours for standard requests

A request comes in Monday morning. You should have it fully processed and ready for the Facilities team to action by Wednesday morning at the latest. Faster is always better, of course.

Basic Test Fit Accuracy
How well your initial test fits (those quick layout drafts) align with the actual physical space and the department's stated requirements.
Target · <5% variance in desk count or room allocation

You propose a layout for 30 desks and 2 meeting rooms. If the final plan only fits 28 desks or needs 3 rooms, that's a 6.7% variance on desks, which means you need to tighten up your initial estimates.

Move List Error Rate
The number of errors (e.g., wrong name, wrong destination, missing equipment) in the move lists you prepare for the Facilities team or external movers.
Target · Zero errors in final move lists

You send out a move list for 100 people. If even one person's name is wrong, or their new desk number is incorrect, that's an error. We want these to be flawless to avoid chaos on move day.

Stakeholder Satisfaction (MAC Support)
How happy internal clients (department managers, employees) are with the support and communication they receive during moves and space changes.
  • Positive feedback in post-move surveys
  • managers proactively coming to you for advice
  • lack of complaints or escalations related to your communication or process. You're seen as helpful, not a hurdle.
Proactive Problem Identification
Your ability to spot potential space issues (e.g., a team outgrowing its space, underutilised areas) before they become urgent problems, and proposing solutions.
  • You bring up potential issues in weekly team meetings with data to back it up
  • you suggest a solution before being asked
  • your manager isn't blindsided by a space crisis you could have foreseen.
Documentation & Process Adherence
How well you follow established processes for space requests and keep our documentation (like process guides, system notes) up-to-date and clear.
  • Your work is easy for others to pick up
  • you consistently use our templates
  • new joiners can understand your notes
  • your manager doesn't have to chase you for missing information.
Contribution to Team Knowledge
How you share what you've learned and help improve the team's overall capabilities, especially for junior colleagues.
  • You offer to help new team members
  • you share tips or tricks you've discovered
  • you contribute to team discussions on best practices
  • you're seen as a reliable source of information for others.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You get a real buzz from taking messy, conflicting data and turning it into a clear, workable space plan. It's like a giant jigsaw puzzle where the pieces keep changing shape.

You're given a brief for a new department with vague growth projections and a tight budget. You love diving into the numbers, sketching out options, and finding that 'aha!' moment where it all clicks.

Seeing Tangible Impact

You're not just pushing papers; you're shaping physical spaces where people work. There's a satisfaction in walking through a newly designed office you helped create.

After weeks of planning a 200-person move, you see everyone settled into their new, efficient space, and you know your work made that happen smoothly.

Organising and Optimising

You thrive on bringing order to chaos, making processes more efficient, and ensuring resources (like office space) are used to their fullest potential.

You spot an underutilised floor and propose a plan to consolidate teams, saving the company significant money on heating and lighting, and you feel great about that efficiency.

What frustrates people
  • Headcount Forecast Whiplash: Trying to plan for the long-term when Finance projects 5% growth and Sales is planning for 30%, with both numbers changing quarterly. It's like trying to hit a moving target.
  • The 'Shadow IT' Headcount List: Every department manager has their own secret spreadsheet of who is on their team, which never matches the official HR system you're required to use. It's a constant battle for the 'real' numbers.
  • Political Tetris: Being forced to compromise a perfectly logical and efficient floor plan to accommodate an executive's demand for a corner office or to keep two feuding VPs on separate floors. Sometimes, logic loses to politics.
  • Outdated 'As-Builts': Discovering during a site walk that a wall or column exists where the official drawings show empty space, completely breaking your plan weeks before a move. It happens more often than you'd think.
  • The 'Just One More' Request: A manager asking to squeeze 'just one more desk' into a space that is already at capacity, demonstrating a complete lack of understanding of fire codes and basic geometry. You'll become a master of polite refusal.
What this role does not give you
  • Predictable, unchanging projects – expect constant shifts and new priorities.
  • Complete autonomy over strategic decisions – you'll make recommendations, but senior leaders will have the final say.
  • A quiet, solitary work environment – you'll be interacting with people constantly, often mediating disagreements.
  • Immediate gratification on every project – some plans take months or years to come to fruition, and some never do.

6Who you work with

Your work directly impacts our operational efficiency and employee experience. Get it right, and people are happy and productive. Get it wrong, and you'll hear about it – from the CEO to the newest intern. You're helping us make smart decisions about one of our biggest expenses: real estate.

Inside the business
  • HR Business Partners (for headcount forecasts and employee data)
  • IT Department (for desk setup, network points, and tech requirements)
  • Facilities Operations Team (they're the ones who actually make the moves happen)
  • Department Heads (your internal clients, telling you what they think they need)
  • Finance Team (they care about the cost of everything, obviously)
Outside the business
  • Furniture Vendors (for new furniture layouts and orders)
  • Architects/Designers (when we need new layouts or bigger changes)
  • Moving Companies (the folks who actually shift the desks and boxes)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A solid understanding of office environments and how different departments typically interact.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously, often with competing deadlines.
  • Experience working with large datasets, ideally in a real estate or facilities context.
  • A track record of accurately maintaining records and databases, because precision is everything here.
  • The ability to communicate clearly and professionally with colleagues at all levels, from the intern to a Director.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced IWMS Configuration & Reporting

As our IWMS becomes more central to everything we do, you'll need to move beyond just data entry. Being able to configure basic modules, build custom reports, and understand how the system integrates with other platforms will make you invaluable.

Module Interdependencies · Custom Report Building · Data Auditing & Quality Checks

  • This month: Spend extra time exploring all the menus and options in our IWMS. What does everything do?
  • Month 2: Ask your manager or a senior colleague to show you how they build a custom report in the system.
  • Month 3: Take on a small data auditing project to clean up a specific dataset within the IWMS.
  • Month 4: Propose a new report that could provide valuable insights not currently available.

Quick win: When you're doing data entry, think about how that data might be used in a report later. This helps you understand the system better.

Advanced CAD & Test Fit Automation

While AI can generate initial test fits, you'll still be the one refining them and ensuring they meet our standards. Learning more advanced CAD functions and potentially scripting simple automation will make you much faster and more efficient.

Dynamic Blocks & Libraries · LISP/VBA Scripting (Basic) · BIM (Building Information Modelling) Fundamentals

  • This month: Explore advanced tutorials for AutoCAD online. Focus on dynamic blocks.
  • Month 2: Identify one repetitive task in CAD and research if there's a simple script or tool to automate it.
  • Month 3: Ask our architects or external designers for a quick demo of how they use Revit and how it integrates with CAD.
  • Month 4: Try to create a simple, reusable dynamic block for a common office furniture item.

Quick win: Start using keyboard shortcuts more effectively in AutoCAD. It's a small change that makes a big difference to speed.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry webinars or virtual conferences on workplace strategy and facilities management.
  • Joining professional groups like the IWFM or CoreNet Global (even at a junior level) to network and learn from peers.
  • Taking online courses to deepen your skills in Excel, Power BI, or AutoCAD.
  • Reading industry publications like 'Workplace Insight' or 'Facilities Management Journal' to stay current on trends.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Data Storytelling for Real Estate

It's not enough to just present numbers; you need to tell a compelling story with them. Senior leaders are drowning in data, and they need someone who can translate complex utilisation trends or forecast models into clear, actionable narratives that drive decisions. This is how you get buy-in and influence.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Space Planning Analyst is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a big chunk of space planning involves repetitive tasks, data sifting, and drafting communications. Imagine getting that time back. AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to supercharge your productivity, helping you focus on the strategic, interesting stuff.

Our team is actively experimenting with AI tools to make our lives easier, and we want you to be part of that. We're building an internal AI Productivity Hub with vetted tools and best practices specifically for Real Estate and Facilities Management. You'll get access and training to use these tools from day one.

Automated Test Fit Generation

Instead of spending hours manually drafting initial layout options in CAD, AI tools can ingest a department's requirements (headcount, meeting rooms, adjacencies) and spit out dozens of valid floor plan options in minutes. You then refine the best ones, saving you loads of time.

Predictive Occupancy Forecasting

Forget wrestling with complex spreadsheets for hours. AI models can analyse historical headcount, business forecasts, and even external market trends to create more accurate, dynamic space demand forecasts. This means less manual data modelling and more reliable numbers for planning.

Workplace Strategy Research Synthesis

Need to quickly get up to speed on the latest trends in hybrid work or sustainable office design? Use AI to scan and summarise industry reports, white papers, and case studies in minutes. It's like having a super-fast research assistant, giving you the key takeaways without the endless reading.

Change Management Communications

Drafting clear, empathetic emails for employees about upcoming moves, new seating protocols, or changes to workplace amenities can be a chore. AI can help you draft these communications quickly, ensuring a consistent and positive tone, freeing you up for more direct engagement.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Space Planning Analyst, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 5 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Space Planning Analyst: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Realestate Facilities Management

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here – data analysis, project management, stakeholder engagement, and a deep understanding of physical space – are highly transferable. You could move into broader facilities management, corporate real estate advisory, property development, or even operations roles in other industries. Your ability to translate business needs into tangible physical solutions is valuable everywhere.
