About the Role:

We are seeking a Property Compliance Manager to join a specialist project team focused on ensuring full statutory compliance across a public sector property estate. This fixed-term role is critical in identifying, rectifying, and documenting compliance issues, enabling a smooth transition to business-as-usual operations for the permanent compliance team.

You will work closely with a dedicated project team, including two specialist lawyers reviewing property agreements, to ensure the organisation meets its statutory obligations.

You will also maintain and update a compliance tracker to ensure all actions are documented and resolved.

• Conduct detailed site inspections to assess statutory compliance across the property estate.
• Identify areas of non-compliance and coordinate with third-party contractors to implement remedial actions.
• Manage contractors to ensure timely and effective completion of compliance works.
• Update and maintain a compliance tracker to document progress and resolutions.
• Apply building pathology and M&E system knowledge to determine relevant compliance requirements for each property.
• Work collaboratively with the permanent compliance team to ensure seamless integration of project outcomes into ongoing operations.
• Utilise project management skills to monitor progress and ensure contractors meet deadlines.

Requirements:

• Exceptional attention to detail and a methodical approach to inspections and compliance management.
• Comprehensive knowledge of property-related statutory compliance obligations (e.g., fire safety, asbestos, electrical, gas, and water regulations).
• Building pathology and M&E (Mechanical & Electrical) system knowledge to assess compliance needs.
• Strong project management skills to oversee contractors and ensure timely delivery of remedial works.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a specialist team.
• Willingness to travel frequently to sites across the borough (note: public transport options may be limited).
• Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential.
