PROPERTY MANAGER

EWS Property Management

Competitive

Home Based (Colchester/Norfolk)

Role Overview

You will manage a varied portfolio of residential blocks and housing estates, delivering a responsive, high-quality service to residents, leaseholders and freeholders. With a strong pipeline of developments across the East, you could be based in or around Colchester or Norfolk and will travel to sites within your region to build trusted relationships and keep assets safe, compliant and well maintained.

Bringing at least one year of block management experience, you will take ownership of service charge budgets, maintenance plans, contractor performance and resident communications. You will join a supportive, collaborative team at EWS Property Management (part of the Odevo Group), where building safety, compliance and great customer outcomes sit at the heart of everything we do.

ROLE EXPECTATIONS

Most days, you will be planning and prioritising your portfolio, responding to resident and client queries, instructing contractors and tracking works through to completion. You will review budgets, prepare reports, attend site inspections and steer routine and preventative maintenance to keep developments compliant, safe and running smoothly.

What Success Looks Like

  • Residents and clients feel informed, respected and confident in the management of their development.
  • Service charge budgets are accurate, monitored and delivered with clear, timely reporting.
  • Statutory and best-practice compliance actions are completed on time with robust records.
  • Maintenance issues are identified early, instructed promptly and resolved to a high standard.
  • Contractors are well-briefed, monitored and deliver quality, value and safety.
  • Meetings, site visits and communications are planned, proactive and outcome-focused.

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.
