In this role, you will oversee the day-to-day management of your portfolio, carrying out regular site visits and ensuring the smooth running of all buildings. You will be responsible for managing service charge budgets, maintaining health and safety compliance, and ensuring all statutory requirements are met. Acting as the primary point of contact for tenants and clients, you will attend meetings, resolve issues, and develop innovative initiatives to engage occupiers, including monthly events and workshops. You will also manage project works across your portfolio, coordinating with occupiers to minimise disruption, and oversee the performance of all service partners, covering both hard and soft services. To succeed in this role, you should have a strong understanding of health and safety compliance, ideally supported by a recognised qualification such as IOSH or NEBOSH. Previous experience in setting and managing service charge budgets is desirable, as is a background in commercial property management. Experience managing a mixed-use portfolio would be advantageous. Please apply with a copy of your CV, and one of our consultants will be in touch.
