Job description

MRG is seeking a Senior Building Manager to take day-to-day responsibility for a small, high-profile commercial building in Mayfair.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a prestigious asset where service quality, presentation and client relationships are central to the role. The building is undergoing a significant refurbishment, and you will play a key part in maintaining operational continuity throughout the works and establishing the service standards for its next chapter.

The role

As the principal on-site representative, you will oversee building operations while also supporting the management of the client's own office accommodation. Reporting to a General Manager, you will have considerable autonomy and regular contact with senior client stakeholders.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Overseeing hard and soft services, including maintenance, security, reception and cleaning.
• Delivering a responsive, personalised service to the client and building occupiers.
• Working closely with project teams and contractors to manage the operational impact of refurbishment works.
• Managing suppliers, service contracts and planned maintenance, supported by a sound understanding of M&E systems.
• Preparing and monitoring service charge budgets, reporting on expenditure and supporting reconciliation.
• Maintaining health and safety, statutory compliance, risk management and emergency arrangements.
• Ensuring consistently high standards of building presentation and occupier communication.

About you

You will bring experience in building or facilities management within a premium commercial property environment, alongside the confidence to operate independently and build relationships with demanding stakeholders.

Experience of managing an occupied building through substantial refurbishment or construction works is essential, as are strong contractor management skills, M&E awareness and experience of service charge budgeting.

You will combine practical operational judgement with a service-led approach, taking personal ownership of issues and maintaining close attention to detail.

Experience of Grade A offices in Central London would be advantageous. Relevant health and safety qualifications and professional membership, such as IWFM, are desirable.
