You’ll coordinate FM and contractor activity, resolve issues quickly and effectively, and ensure our buildings are run with consistency, control and pride.

We’re particularly interested in someone who brings initiative and ideas especially around ESG, sustainability, and tenant engagement including creating opportunities for community building through networking events, charitable initiatives, and occupier-focused activity.
Above all, this role is about balancing operational control, cost discipline, and outstanding customer service, ensuring tenants enjoy a high-quality, well-managed environment every day.

Main duties:
  • Act as the visible on-site representative for the building, ensuring tenants, visitors and stakeholders receive a professional and responsive service.
  • Maintain high standards of building presentation, cleanliness, safety and the overall environment across occupied and communal areas.
  • Respond promptly and professionally to tenant queries, issues and requests, ensuring matters are recorded, progressed and followed through.

  • Support health, safety and compliance activities, including inspections, records, corrective actions and risk escalation.
  • Maintain accurate site records, inspection reports, communication logs, meter readings and contractor records.
  • Complete reporting requirements accurately and within agreed timescales.
  • Support tenant move-ins, move-outs and occupier changes, ensuring activities are coordinated and completed efficiently.
  • Support projects, procurement activities and site works, including contractor coordination and maintaining accurate records.
  • Communicate clearly with tenants and internal stakeholders regarding works, disruption, access requirements, building updates, and issue resolution.
  • Identify recurring issues, service gaps, or tenant concerns and escalate them with practical recommendations.
  • Protect the tenant experience by ensuring standards are maintained and avoidable disruption is minimised.
  • Contribute positively to the wider Property Management function by maintaining professionalism, ownership, and clear communication.
Requirements, Skills and Competencies
  • Building management, front of house, facilities, or customer-facing operational experience.
  • Strong tenant, occupier and visitor service skills.
  • Practical understanding of building operations, maintenance issues, and contractor coordination.
  • Working knowledge of health and safety, site procedures, and compliance records.
  • Confident coordinating contractors, access, permits, and site activity.
  • Able to identify defects, risks, and presentation issues early.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills.
