This is a varied role that mixes office-based admin with time out on site.

• Logging inspections on the Risk Manager App
• Taking monthly utility meter readings where required and keeping records up to date
• Helping to monitor statutory compliance across the portfolio
• Acting as a point of contact for tenants and making sure issues are logged and resolved promptly
• Liaising with contractors, suppliers and service providers
• Attending regular meetings with the Facilities Manager and Surveyor to review ongoing works and risk management

What we're looking for

• A keen interest in property and the property sector (essential)
• Previous facilities or property experience is beneficial but not required
• A professional, reliable approach and a strong sense of ownership
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office (full training on specialist systems is provided)
• An awareness of health and safety and an eye for spotting potential risks (training provided)
• The ability to prioritise your workload and work independently
• Discretion when handling confidential information

Why apply?

• A competitive salary
• A great route into facilities and property management, whether you're starting out or building on existing experience
• Full training provided, including on specialist platforms
• A hands-on role with variety, combining office work and site visits
• The chance to learn from experienced facilities and surveying professionals
