  • Ensuring full compliance with UK Health and Safety legislation.

Ideally you will bring prior experience of managing/assisting with the management of a portfolio of multiple properties or have a track record in managing entire building(s).

An IOSH qualification is essential for this role. Equally importantly will be your proactive, driven nature, and ability to communicate with a variety of stakeholders.
