The Role
You’ll oversee all maintenance and operational services across a professionally managed residential property, ensuring buildings, assets, and facilities are safe, compliant, and immaculately presented.

Key responsibilities:

- Manage trades and external contractors (scope, schedule, quality)
- Conduct regular inspections and implement preventative maintenance
- Proactively identify and address maintenance risks or defects
- Respond to and coordinate emergency maintenance when required
- Maintain accurate records, asset registers, and documentation
- Liaise with residents and stakeholders on maintenance requests
About You

- 3+ years’ experience in Facilities or Maintenance Management
