Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced and highly professional Building Manager & Front of House (FOH) to take full-time responsibility for a flagship Central London building, with additional virtual oversight of a secondary building as required.

This is a client‑facing, hands‑on role requiring exceptional customer service, strong tenant engagement skills, and confidence in contractor management. A solid understanding of building systems and compliance requirements is also important.

More importantly, we’re looking for someone who is proactive, resilient and comfortable working independently. This is a hands‑on role where you’ll need to take ownership, identify issues and find practical solutions rather than waiting for direction.

You’ll need to be proactive and comfortable taking initiative. There won’t always be a handbook or set process for every situation, so we’re looking for someone who can use their judgement, find solutions and make things happen without needing to be told what to do at every step.

Key Responsibilities:

Front of House & Customer Experience

• Act as the primary front‑of‑house presence, delivering an exceptional customer and tenant experience at all times
• Build strong, professional relationships with occupiers, visitors, and stakeholders
• Manage tenant engagement, communications, and day‑to‑day enquiries efficiently and professionally
• Represent the building to the highest standard, ensuring a welcoming and well‑managed environment

Building Management

• Take full operational responsibility for the primary building, ensuring smooth day‑to‑day performance
• Maintain oversight of a secondary building remotely, coordinating remedial actions when issues arise
• Monitor building condition and proactively identify maintenance or operational issues

Contractor & Maintenance Management

• Manage and oversee contractors on‑site, ensuring works are completed safely, on time, and to specification
• Coordinate reactive and planned maintenance activities
• Ensure all works comply with health & safety requirements and site procedures

Building Systems & Compliance

Demonstrate strong working knowledge of key building systems, including:

• CCTV systems
• Intruder alarms
• Fire alarm systems
• Intercom and access control systems
• Monitor system performance, elevate faults, and liaise with specialist contractors where required
• Support compliance activities, inspections, and statutory checks

Health, Safety & Risk

• Promote a safe working environment for occupiers, visitors, and contractors
• Ensure site procedures, permits, and risk assessments are followed
• Act promptly on any health & safety issues or incidents

Skills & Experience Required

• Proven experience in a Building Manager, FOH, or Facilities Management role (commercial environment preferred)
• Exceptional customer service and tenant engagement skills
• Confident in contractor management and site coordination
• Strong understanding of building systems and how they operate (CCTV, alarms, intercoms, fire systems)
• Organised, proactive, and able to work independently
• Professional, approachable, and calm under pressure
• IOSH/NEBOSH qualifications are desirable.

Benefits:

• Highly competitive salary DOE
• Discretionary bonus scheme
• 25 days holiday per year plus bank holidays
• Private Medical Insurance (medical history disregarded)
• Annual Dental benefit inclusive of two appointments per year
• Healthcare Cash Plan
• 5% Company pension contribution
• 3x Life Assurance
• Cycle to work scheme
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Group income protection scheme
