Building Manager

Department: Building Management
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Geneva House, Birmingham International

Description

Location: Birmingham
Sites: Geneva House & Quinton Business Park (B37 7GN & B32 1AF)
Valid driving licence & car required
Contract: 40 hours per week

The role:

We’re looking for a hands-on Building Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day operation of Geneva House and Quinton Business Park.

Role summary:

You’ll be the visible on-site representative for Praxis, working closely with tenants, contractors, Property Management and Facilities Management to ensure the buildings are safe, well maintained and professionally presented.

This role is about more than simply keeping the building running. You’ll be the face of the building for tenants and occupiers, building strong relationships, understanding what matters to them and making sure they receive a consistently high level of service.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being visible and engaged on site, takes pride in the environment they manage and is proactive in building relationships and creating a strong sense of community within the building.

You’ll take ownership of:

  • Day-to-day building operations and presentation
  • Tenant relationships, queries and service
  • Contractor and FM coordination
  • Building inspections, maintenance and issue resolution
  • H&S, compliance and site records
  • Access, security and building systems
  • Tenant move-ins, viewings and site activity
  • Supporting projects, procurement and works

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
