• Checking health and safety compliance, including communal areas, fire safety measures and access routes.
• Raising, prioritising and tracking maintenance works with contractors and onsite teams.
• Meeting and liaising with site staff and residents to understand issues and provide updates.

• You are detail‑focused, practical and calm under pressure, with a strong sense of ownership.
• You build trust quickly with residents, site teams and contractors through clear, courteous communication.

• Familiarity with using mobile inspection apps, photos and structured reporting.
