• Assist with the development and roll out of business continuity management systems specific to each building.
• Review property-specific documentation, updating periodically as appropriate and support in the preparation of other documentation such as management reports.
• Where necessary, provide administrative support to ensure consistency across the portfolio.
• Undertake any other reasonable property management-related duties as required by management or leadership.
• Provide cover as required for wider team members, with specific responsibility for ensuring that the Property Manager function is covered in its absence.
