A facilities manager looks after a company’s work environment, the maintenance of its building and grounds and the safety of its staff. Facilities management roles often take on security as a key part of their remit.
Security managers are charged with identifying their company’s assets and putting a plan in place to safeguard those assets. This might include the company’s people, ideas, IT systems or physical environment.
