Cobalt is seeking a Building Manager following on from our client winning the management instruction of a Grade A office building.

Your new employer is one of the UK's best renowned managing agents, with an enviable track record, and a long history of outperforming their larger competitors due to their forward-thinking and tailored approach to property management.

Conduct regular site and H&S inspections, addressing vulnerabilities, managing contractor compliance, and completing fire alarm tests and evacuation drills.
-
Perform vacant unit inspections, including utility meter readings, and maintain utility records for monthly reporting.
-

As the successful applicant, you'll be able to draw upon your previous experience working for a property management/landlord within a commercial office environment and be able to consult and advise your client and customers. An IOSH or NEBOSH is essential, as is experience with managing service charge budgets. Equally importantly however will be your people skills as occupier engagement will be a large part of this role.
