DEVELOPMENT DETAILS
You’ll be the on-site maintenance lead for a substantial riverside community of around 535 homes set across five buildings, with secure parking, landscaped communal areas and views over the Thames. The environment is busy yet welcoming, with residents who value a safe, clean and well-cared-for place to live. With excellent transport connections close by, you’ll work at the heart of a professional estate operation where high standards and attention to detail are appreciated every day.
ROLE EXPECTATIONS
You will take ownership of day-to-day maintenance across communal areas, ensuring works are completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard. You’ll plan and deliver routine checks, respond to issues as they arise, and coordinate colleagues and contractors to keep the estate operating smoothly. Clear communication with residents, the managing agent and the on-site team will be central to your success.
What Success Looks Like
- Communal areas are consistently clean, safe and well-presented, with issues resolved quickly and thoroughly.
- Water features operate safely, meeting hygiene standards through regular testing and proactive upkeep.
- Residents and colleagues feel informed, listened to and confident in your approach.
- Estate operatives and cleaners are briefed clearly, with work prioritised and quality-checked.
- Contractors are managed effectively, with permits, RAMS and site standards adhered to at all times.
- Planned preventative maintenance and statutory checks are completed on time with accurate records.
