Paul Williams
Facilities Manager

I enjoy my job, and have a great team around me, no two days are the same, I have to think in a dynamic way as priorities can change throughout the day, this is all part of the challenge.

My Story:

I have worked for the Council since December 2002, I originally started working in the Building Maintenance Department as an Electrician. From this position I worked up to become Depot Charge hand, Depot Foreman, and then Housing Maintenance Officer. 

In 2005 my line managers offered me the opportunity to study for BSc in Construction and Project Management; this was completed in 2008 and enabled me to apply for the position of Buildings Facilities Manager of the newly built Canolfan Rheidol.

I have been in post since 2008, the job has changed considerably since I first started, between Facilities Management and Cleaning Services I now have managerial responsibility for 161 posts, 5 admin buildings, 2 district heating systems, and 36 public conveniences.

I am a volunteer lifeboat crew member and the Council has fully supported me in this role during times of training, and emergency call outs.
