- Your developments are compliant, well-maintained and running smoothly
- Clients and residents trust you as their main point of contact
- Budgets and service charges are well managed and transparent
- Contractor performance is high quality and cost-effective
- Communication is proactive, clear and professional
How You’ll Spend Most Of Your Time
Most weeks, you’ll be:
- Managing the day-to-day performance of your residential portfolio
- Carrying out regular site inspections and ensuring H&S compliance
- Building strong relationships with clients, residents, RMCs and RTMs
- Managing contractors and overseeing works to ensure quality and value
- Handling customer queries, complaints and escalations effectively
- Preparing reports and communicating updates to clients
- Supporting service charge budgets, expenditure and financial control
- Managing projects such as major works and redecorations
- Ensuring compliance with leasehold legislation and industry standards
