Dubai: The outsourced facilities management sector in the GCC region is expected to reach a value of $10 billion by 2012, according to a study conducted by Arab Business Review.
The region's booming construction market has spawned the need for top-end benchmarks to ensure the sustainability of these buildings.
According to Macdonald & Company, the region has experienced a steady expansion within the FM consultancy sector and due to the rapid completion of buildings service providers have been awarded multimillion dirham contracts for service provision.
Therefore, there is a high demand for senior level practitioners, who will be able to strategically manage the FM services within some of Dubai's iconic towers and developments.
