• Coordinate health & safety visits, ensuring consultants receive correct information, keys, codes and reports in a timely manner.
• Monitor and implement fire and general risk assessment recommendations.
• Stay up to date with relevant legislation including leasehold law, Section 20 notices and related regulatory requirements.

Project & Contractor Oversight

• Lead on the project management of major internal and external works, in conjunction with surveyors and other consultants.
• Liaise with councils, government bodies and emergency services as required.

Skills, Experience, Training & Attributes:

We are looking for someone who:

• Has prior experience in property/block management and has managed higher risk buildings.
• Ideally TPI qualified or working towards it.
• Is organised, methodical and has excellent attention to detail.
• Communicates clearly in both written and verbal formats.
• Is proactive, professional, and demonstrates a “can‑do” attitude.
• Has strong numerical and analytical skills.
• Is confident using IT systems, including MS Outlook, Word and Excel.
• Is able to work independently while contributing effectively to the wider team.
