Landmark Building, Canary Wharf - E14 8GZ
Sunday - Thursday 7am - 3pm
DEVELOPMENT DETAILS
Join a prestigious riverside landmark of 649 high-spec apartments at the heart of Canary Wharf. You’ll work in a polished, concierge-led environment with a residents’ gym and secure parking, supporting a professional community that values seamless service and spotless presentation. With Canary Wharf Underground and Heron Quays DLR just a short walk away, the setting is fast-paced, well-connected and varied—no two days feel the same as you keep high-traffic spaces pristine and welcoming.
ROLE EXPECTATIONS
You will be the on-site presence that keeps the development immaculate, safe and running smoothly, from maintaining communal areas to supporting residents and contractors. Most days blend hands-on cleaning and waste management with routine checks, minor fixes and responsive support. On Tuesdays (bin collection day) you’ll start at 6am and finish at 2pm to ensure timely, efficient waste rotations.
What Success Looks Like
- Communal areas are consistently spotless, well-presented and ready for busy footfall.
- Waste is managed efficiently, with bins rotated on time and collection days running smoothly.
- Health and safety concerns are identified early, recorded accurately and escalated promptly.
- Residents and visitors receive friendly, proactive support and clear communication.
- Contractors are coordinated effectively, with access arranged and works areas left tidy.
- Task logs, checks and reports are completed accurately and on time, every time.
