The post holder will have responsibility for the day-to-day management of a multi-disciplined building and engineering estates service covering acute hospital sites and will therefore be a skilled professional with significant management experience in the leadership of estates services within an organisation of comparable size and complexity.
Together with managerial responsibility for Atlas Estates staff at all levels, the post holder is expected to provide a customer-focused, cost-effective and efficient building and engineering service using a combination of in-house staff and a range of independent contractors and professionals, including appointed architects, quantity surveyors, mechanical and electrical consultants, principal contractors, sub-contractors, and specialist contractors.
The frequently fast-changing, dynamic acute working environment, requires the post holder to demonstrate the ability to respond and adapt flexibly to the needs of the service. Therefore, they must have a high-level, practical and theoretical knowledge of estates services, the associated compliance legislation and be comfortable dealing with a wide range of stakeholders.
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.
