About The Opportunity
A firm of chartered surveyors, based in Soho, central London, is looking for a Helpdesk Administrator to join its property management team. With over 40 years' experience advising on property fund management, asset management, valuations and investment broking, the firm manages a nationwide portfolio of more than 60 properties. This role sits at the centre of that operation, providing customer service and business support as the firm continues to grow.
What Makes The Role Exceptional
This is a genuinely varied, front-line role rather than a back-office admin position. You will be the first point of contact for tenants, contractors and clients, giving you regular exposure to every part of the property management process, from raising works orders to liaising directly with site teams and engineers. The department's growth and the firm's stable, debt-free position mean this is a team that is expanding, offering genuine scope to build knowledge across a national property portfolio.
