Job description

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced Building Manager to join a well-established property business, overseeing a portfolio of commercial assets across the Warrington and Bolton area.

This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in the buildings they manage and enjoys being visible, approachable and proactive. You’ll be responsible for ensuring the buildings are well maintained, compliant and presented to a high standard, whilst developing strong relationships with occupiers, contractors and other stakeholders.

The role will suit someone who is confident taking ownership, can spot issues before they become problems and enjoys finding practical solutions rather than simply reacting when something goes wrong.

Strong contractor management skills are important, as is the ability to build genuine relationships with occupiers and provide a high level of customer service.

Most importantly, they’re looking for someone who takes ownership. Someone who doesn’t wait to be told there’s a problem, but walks the building, understands what is happening on site and takes action to keep everything running smoothly.

In return, you’ll join an established business where you’ll have the opportunity to take real ownership of your portfolio and play an important role in maintaining and developing a range of commercial properties across the region.
