About the role

We're looking for an experienced and technically minded Building Manager to play a pivotal role in the management of Indigo, our flagship high-rise residential development.

No two days will be the same. You'll oversee critical building systems, manage planned and reactive maintenance programmes, coordinate specialist contractors and ensure compliance with a wide range of statutory obligations.

• Support the organisation's responsibilities under the Building Safety Act and associated legislation.
• Undertake regular inspections and audits of the building.
• Manage building budgets and service contracts.
• Work closely with residents to resolve building-related issues and communicate planned works.
• Maintain accurate compliance and safety records.

About you

You'll be a confident and knowledgeable property professional with experience managing complex residential buildings and delivering high standards of compliance and customer service.

You'll bring:

• Experience managing residential buildings, estates or complex property assets.
• Strong technical knowledge of building systems and maintenance.
• Sound understanding of health, safety and compliance requirements.
• Experience of contractor management and procurement.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience working within housing, residential property, facilities management, build-to-rent or property management environments.
