Rendall & Rittner
£52,500
South Grove, Walthamstow - E17 7FP
Monday - Friday 0800 - 1700
DEVELOPMENT DETAILS
You’ll lead operations at a landmark residential community of around 500 contemporary homes in the heart of Walthamstow. Thoughtfully planned across multiple phases and centred on landscaped public spaces, this vibrant setting combines greenery with city energy, and every apartment enjoys a private balcony or terrace. You’ll be at the hub of a thriving neighbourhood, working closely with residents, partners and on-site teams to keep the environment safe, welcoming and impeccably run.
ROLE EXPECTATIONS
You will be the on-site lead for service delivery, safety and customer experience, coordinating contractors and in-house teams to keep buildings, grounds and services running smoothly. You’ll build strong relationships with residents, handle enquiries and issues with care, and manage budgets, compliance and reporting with accuracy. Most days blend visible presence around the estate with planned inspections, supplier oversight and stakeholder updates.
What Success Looks Like
- Residents feel listened to and see swift, courteous resolution to issues.
- Estate presentation is consistently high, with proactive maintenance and tidy communal areas.
- Compliance actions are up to date, documented and evidenced without prompting.
- Budgets, purchase orders and invoices are accurate, timely and within agreed parameters.
- Suppliers are well briefed, monitored and deliver to clear KPIs and standards.
- Communication is regular, clear and tailored to the audience, preventing surprises.
