The role involves carrying out inspections, raising repairs, ordering furniture and equipment, tracking and chasing progress and post inspecting completed works to minimise void periods and maximise rental income. The post will cover a large geographical area so extensive travel will be required.

• Carry out pre and actual void inspections to identify repairs and works required, and order any replacement furniture, furnishings and equipment.
• Carry out a further pre-let inspection to ensure the property is ready to let to a high standard.
• Track and chase progress on all void works and ensure properties are ready for re-letting within target timescales.
• Provide regular updates and reports to management on void performance.

• Identify and suggest improvements to processes to enhance efficiency and reduce void and repair completion times.

• Strong organisational and time management skills.
• Ability to work on your own initiative.
• Ability to work collaboratively across teams and with external contractors.
