You'll support the Community Manager in keeping the building safe, compliant and running well, overseeing technical services and maintenance across the buildings, grounds, amenities and common areas. Day to day, you will:

• Manage purchase orders, invoices and budget tracking alongside the Community Manager
• Report monthly to the Estates Management team on PPM, lifecycle replacement and contractor performance
• Build good relationships with residents and external stakeholders such as the local council and fire services
• Provide out-of-hours emergency cover on an on-call basis

What my client is looking for

• Experience supervising contractors and working with teams to maintain high-end residential buildings
• A qualification in electrical/mechanical engineering or plumbing (NVQ, City & Guilds or equivalent), or a trade apprenticeship background
• A solid understanding of UK Health & Safety legislation and building compliance, and experience managing risk assessments and PPM systems
