• Ensure that all works are carried out in accordance with legislative requirements, industry best practice, and in conjunction with other Property Department disciplines.
• Good experience of successfully delivering Planned Maintenance Programmes to a multi-property, occupied portfolio.
• A proven record of maintenance inspections, defect diagnosis, and repair management to occupied buildings, especially residential.
• Experience of successfully implementing projects with responsibility for delivering the full project management cycle.
• An understanding of statutory compliance and health and safety issues as they affect property.
• A working knowledge of the Equality Act including the ability to carry out Access Audits.

• Full membership of the RICS (Building Surveying Division) or the Chartered Institute of Building and a relevant property-related degree or HND (A,I).
