Assistant Property Manager
Want to do the best work of your life? Playing your part in making a big difference to the environment and communities we serve. Our people make Severn Trent a truly exciting and inclusive place to work – a place where you can be yourself and let your skills shine.
Our purpose is taking care of life’s essentials, but we’re also big on making a difference, not just because we should but because we care.
We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Property Manager to join our team.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
As a Property Manager, you will be accountable for the day-to-day management of our residential and telecoms estate, working closely with the line manager to ensure an appropriate risk profile in the asset classes. You will also be responsible for elements of our commercial estate, alongside the Principal Property Manager. Your role will include developing strategies to maximize rental income and efficient use of resources, managing third-party requests for land interests/rights, and safeguarding business land interests and rights across the operational estate.
You will ensure our legislative requirements on asset management are met through supply chain management, including compliance with Health and Safety and general landlord statutory obligations. Coordinating and instructing our third-party suppliers and stakeholders to ensure compliance standards are met throughout the portfolio will be crucial. Additionally, you will manage budget and spend tracking, support the team in forecasting income and spend, and highlight and manage risks and issues.
Ensuring data accuracy and up-to-date information on our managed assets is essential. You will work with the team to maintain data integrity and provide insights into asset performance and potential future needs. Handling tenant and customer queries or complaints and managing business risks will also be part of your responsibilities. Furthermore, you will provide input and support to our investment programs and keep up-to-date with the latest legal and professional developments and best practices in each property sector.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE
To succeed in this role, you should have a range of experience in property/real estate or asset management, with varied work experience. Experience managing a public or private sector organisation’s land interests and rights is essential. You should have a good range and depth of landlord and tenant experience in at least one of the following asset classes: telecoms, commercial, or residential. Significant experience in budget management, including forecasting of spend and income, and an understanding of budget management is required. Experience in risk management, managing work through supply chains, and helping to inform and deliver strategies for assets is also necessary. Some experience or awareness of wayleaves/easements is desirable, as is experience managing customer complaints and working in a utility company or public sector organisation.
Of course, it’s important that we attract the right skill sets, and those with the right experience but we value character, positivity, and a caring attitude in equal weight.
If you are a proactive and experienced Property Manager looking for a challenging and rewarding role, we would love to hear from you.
