Build Your Optio Wish List
Tell us what would make your next move worth it. You don’t need to be actively job hunting — just honest about what a better opportunity would look like.
Your wish list is confidential. You stay in control. We only share your details with employers when you give permission.
What is the Optio Wish List? The Optio Wish List is a confidential next-move profile for skilled workers in facilities management, engineering, field service, and related sectors. Tell us your priorities — pay, progression, location, qualifications — and Optio matches you with employers whose offers meet your criteria. No public profile. No unsolicited contact. You stay in control.
What the wish list asks for
It takes a few minutes. Nothing is required beyond the basics, and you can change any of it later.
Basic details
Your name, your email address and the area you are based in. A phone number is optional — give one only if you would prefer to be contacted that way.
Your current role
Your job title, your sector, roughly how long you have worked in this type of role, and your approximate current salary. The salary question is a band rather than a figure, and it is there so that a match is only put to you if it improves on what you already have.
Your ideal next role
What kind of role you would consider, and the minimum salary that would make a move worth thinking about. That minimum is used as a floor, not as a target.
What would make a move worth it?
You choose as many as apply, from a list covering the things people in these sectors actually move for:
- Better pay
- A better package or benefits — pension, vehicle, healthcare, bonus
- Better working hours, or a different shift pattern
- Better work-life balance
- Less on-call or emergency callout work
- Less travel, or a smaller geographical patch
- Relocation to a different area
- Clearer career progression
- More training, or funded qualifications
- A more financially stable or better managed employer
- Better workplace culture or management
- A different site, environment or team
Travel and location
How far you are willing to travel, whether you would consider relocating, and whether you hold a full UK driving licence and your own vehicle.
Training and qualifications
The qualifications and certifications you already hold, and whether funded training from an employer is something you want, something that would be a bonus, or not a priority.
Availability
How soon you could consider a new role — from immediately through to “only if the right opportunity appears”. Saying you are not in a hurry does not move you down any list.
Anything else
A free-text box for anything else you would like an employer to know about what you are looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What roles does Optio cover for FM candidates?
Optio covers the full range of facilities management roles: hard FM, soft FM, mobile engineering, contract management, building services, and site operations. Whether you work at technician level or in senior contract management, your wish list captures the specifics of what a worthwhile move looks like for your discipline.
How does Optio reach facilities management candidates who are not actively job hunting?
Optio builds an always-on talent pool from candidates who choose to register a next-move profile. Many FM professionals in work are open to the right opportunity but do not apply to job boards. By registering a wish list, you enter a structured, consent-based pool that employers can access through Optio — without your details being visible to them unless you agree.
How does offer intelligence work for FM candidates on Optio?
Optio uses structured intent data from candidates to show employers what the FM talent market actually values: pay benchmarks, package priorities, shift preferences, and progression expectations. This gives employers a clearer picture of what candidates want, which means the roles you are contacted about are more likely to match your stated criteria from the start.
What do FM candidates typically look for when considering a move?
The wish list asks about the factors that most often decide a move in these sectors: base pay, on-call and callout arrangements, funded qualifications such as Gas Safe, electrical or NEBOSH, career progression, and work-life balance. It lets you say which of these matter most to you, rather than waiting to see what an employer offers.
