This opportunity supports a major national industrial portfolio for a long‑standing client who views the management team as an extension of their own business. The role offers strong long‑term stability, a well‑structured handover, and full support from an experienced multidisciplinary team.

The Role

This position is predominantly home‑based (with optional office access) and involves managing a wide range of industrial assets, particularly across the Midlands. Responsibilities include service charge management, tenant liaison, operational oversight and client reporting. The role sits within a highly collaborative national team with dedicated facilities management and accounting support.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the main point of contact for tenants, including managing formal landlord and tenant matters such as assignments, subletting and alterations.


• Work closely with building, estate and facilities managers to resolve maintenance, repair and operational issues.


• Prepare, manage and monitor service charge budgets across multiple industrial assets.


• Oversee income, expenditure and credit control in conjunction with a dedicated accounts team.


• Assist with monthly and quarterly reporting, including attendance at portfolio review meetings.


• Identify asset management opportunities to support the client's strategic plans and enhance portfolio performance.

What We're Looking For

• Strong background in managing industrial properties is essential.


• MRICS qualification is desirable but not required.


• Confident communicator with proven client‑facing experience.


• Comfortable working independently within a home‑based structure while contributing effectively to a national team.


• Skilled in managing complex service charges and multi‑asset portfolios.


• Experience using property management platforms is advantageous.


• Self‑motivated, organised, and capable of using initiative in a relationship‑driven environment.

Team & Working Environment

The successful candidate will join an established national team comprising surveyors, facilities managers and accounting professionals. Regular touchpoints include:

• Monthly portfolio meetings


• Ongoing internal team updates


• Annual full-team workshop and review session

Collaboration, communication and relationship-building are central to the role.

Why This Opportunity?

• Work with a highly stable, long‑term client relationship.


• Strong support from a well‑resourced national team.


• Opportunity to shape and influence the management of a major UK industrial portfolio.


• Hybrid/home‑based working offering flexibility and autonomy.
