About the Role
Cobalt is delighted to be supporting an employee-focused and big name managing agent with the appointment of a Building Manager for a contemporary office building in Bradford.
This is an exciting opportunity for a service-led professional with a hands-on approach to step into a varied and visible role - one that blends technical oversight with occupier engagement in a high-quality, multi-let commercial environment.
As Building Manager, you'll be the day-to-day lead for all operational matters on site - from plant checks and contractor supervision to tenant liaison and compliance logging.
You'll ensure the building runs smoothly, safely, and in line with best practice, supported by central teams across Health & Safety, finance, and sustainability.
Key responsibilities include:
-
Carrying out daily building inspections across common areas, back of house, plant rooms and external spaces
-
Managing the performance of service partners and ensuring reactive and PPM works are completed effectively
-
Using the building's compliance platform to track H&S actions, documentation and statutory obligations
-
Supporting procurement, budgets and invoice processing in collaboration with the General Manager
-
Acting as the first point of contact for tenant issues, resolving queries and communicating updates
-
Coordinating fire drills, evacuation procedures and emergency readiness measures
-
Maintaining incident logs and contractor audit trails
-
Providing regular reporting on building performance, issues, and compliance milestones
We're looking for someone early in their FM career who is ready to take full ownership of a site.
You'll likely have a foundation whether as an Assistant FM, Facilities Coordinator or junior Building Manager and be looking to grow your responsibilities within a supportive, proactive team.
You'll need to be confident handling contractors, familiar with technical building systems, and comfortable communicating with tenants. Strong organisational skills and an IOSH qualification are essential.
