The business prides itself on incredibly high levels of customer service, delivered by a team of highly professional, enthusiastic and talented property specialists. Knight Frank is the leading independent property consultancy in the UK. Established in 1897, it now comprises a global network of over 200 offices, advising private investors, corporate landlords, funds and individual homeowners across the commercial and residential sectors. Promise's delivery model is a blend of people and property: permanent, on-site managers for larger multi-let buildings, and in-house mobile managers for smaller properties and single assets. That is backed by a high level of technical knowledge, a strong health and safety culture, and a preference for local, expert suppliers and ethical procurement over a one-size-fits-all model. The North East Team The North East region is led by a Director from the Newcastle office, covering Newcastle, Sunderland, Stockton, Durham and Teesside, plus an outlying site in Whitby. The team includes Senior FMs, a Roving FM team, Building Managers, and site-based and office staff.

Onboarding is structured, with shadowing, mentoring and a buddy from the existing team. There is also a visible route to a senior roving role, potentially including people management: a senior Roving FM in the team already combines a portfolio with managing two staffed buildings. As properties transition in and out of the regional portfolio, no two years look the same. The successful candidate will: Manage hard and soft services across up to 20 properties, including planned preventative maintenance Visit each site at least monthly to inspect, take meter readings and report on condition and compliance Hold regular contract meetings with suppliers, assessing their performance against KPIs Procure goods and services, validate invoices and support the management of service charge budgets Ensure all works have the correct health and safety arrangements, supporting ISO 45001 objectives Liaise with occupiers, on-site staff and suppliers, keeping everyone informed until issues are resolved The Ideal Candidate The preferred candidate will have the following experience and attributes: At least two years' FM experience, with a good grasp of Managing Agent responsibilities NEBOSH General Certificate essential; IWFM and/or IOSH membership highly desirable Good knowledge of commercial landlord and tenant matters, including service charge Sound soft services knowledge, an understanding of hard services, and clear communication Strong contract management skills, ideally using a formal performance management system Awareness training in Fire Risk Assessment, Asbestos Awareness and Water Hygiene Managing agent, client-side multi-site FM, or single-site experience and ready to step up Industrial, retail or office sector experience are all relevant Comfortable working remotely, managing your own diary and resolving issues at distance A self-starter with a co-operative attitude and ambition to progress in two to three years A full driving licence and your own transport to visit sites Why Join Promise?
