E092 - James Hebberts : Principal FM Consultant - Arcadis

Kicking off another brilliant episode of Season 2 of the Wear Many Hats podcast!

This time, we sit down with James Hebberts, Principal FM Consultant at Arcadis, to hear his career journey, from summer caretaker to leading major consultancy projects across government, NHS, and private estates.

James shares what drew him into FM, how saying yes to every opportunity built his skillset, and what it’s really like to transition from hands-on operations into high-level consultancy.

We also dive into the future of facilities management, from ESG and smart building tech to data-driven asset optimisation, and why staying curious, proactive, and people-focused is key to career growth in this fast-changing sector.

A brilliant listen for anyone in FM, operations, or property management.
