Head of FM London (Newcastle or Manchester considered) £90,000 - £110,000 plus bonus, car allowance and share schemes First things first: this is a resident-facing role before it's anything else. You're taking on two Facilities Management teams with opposite problems and turning them into a single function that's genuinely engaged with the people living in these buildings, not reacting to issues from behind a desk. If you want a quiet technical brief and a team that already works the way you'd like, this isn't it. A national UK residential property business is hiring a Head of FM to lead its Facilities Management function across a large, multi-region portfolio spanning Build to Rent, PRS and long-held residential assets. It's two jobs held together by one person, and the FM half is where you'll spend most of your time. Facilities Management You own the strategy, the operating model and the service standards nationally, leading a dispersed team of FM professionals. FM strategy, operating model and service standards, with resident experience as the yardstick Planned preventative and reactive maintenance Procurement, contract management and supplier performance Utilities, energy management and heat networks Mobilisation of new developments into management Input into annual budget planning and service charges - FM is one of the largest areas of operational spend The bit that will actually decide whether you succeed The technical side of this function works. The teams know their jobs. What the business needs is someone who can change how those teams operate - and get both of them genuinely focused on the residents living in these buildings, not just the buildings themselves. The two halves of the estate need opposite things from you. One team has been through significant turnover. It's been rebuilt once and turned over again. Nobody is entirely sure why. Diagnosing that honestly and building stability is priority one. The other is stable, experienced and long-established - and more traditional in how it works. Moving it towards a different operating model will take patience and credibility, not authority. FM currently runs at arm's length from the buildings, and from the residents in them, while other teams are on site every day. Getting FM out of the office, visible in the buildings and building real relationships with residents is a stated priority - this is as much about resident experience as it is about the assets. Whoever gets this right will be judged as much on how residents feel about the service as on the compliance paperwork behind it. You'll also lead a mix of projects alongside the day job - regeneration works, ESG initiatives and building improvement programmes. Building & Fire Safety The statutory side is in good shape. The Building Safety Act machinery - Safety Cases, Golden Thread, registration, Mandatory Occurrence Reporting, Building Assessment Certificates, Resident Engagement - is already in place and audited, and it's the same story with the Fire Safety Order. You'll keep it on track, working alongside an existing building safety team, rather than building it from a standing start. That said, you'll be the named senior operational contact for the Building Safety Regulator, so genuine comfort with the subject matters - you just won't be starting from zero. The honest bit: this is a senior, regulator-facing role, but the majority of it is people and operations. If you're drawn here purely for the Building Safety Act side, it may not give you what you're looking for. What they're looking for FM leadership across a large, dispersed portfolio. Residential is the obvious fit - BTR, PRS, student or social housing - but strong operational environments transfer well. Maintenance and FM providers, hospitality and leisure estates all count. Real experience of resident or customer-facing service - you know what good looks like from the resident's side, not just the operational side, and you can get a team to care about that as much as you do. This is a priority, not a nice-to-have. A track record of stabilising an unsettled team, or shifting an established one to a new way of working - this matters as much as anything else in this brief Influencing and relationship-building across teams you don't manage Strategic input into procurement and annual budget planning, working alongside a procurement function A self-starter. Working knowledge of statutory building and fire safety compliance, with a genuine appetite to build on it - direct Higher Risk Building or Building Safety Regulator experience is a strong plus but not assumed on day one The details London preferred; Newcastle or Manchester considered. £90,000 - £110,000 plus bonus, car allowance, SAYE, Share Incentive Plan and a deferred bonus scheme. National travel across the portfolio is part of the job. IOSH, NEBOSH or equivalent is essential. Level 6 Building Safety Management, CABE, NEBOSH Fire, IFE, MRICS, MIWFM, MIFireE or CMIOSH are all welcome, but none of them replace having done the work. The process runs to three stages, including a presentation. The business is moving quickly - there is a leadership gap from mid-October, so this is not a slow-burn hire. Applications are handled confidentially. The employer is named at first conversation.

Head of Building Maintenance Private Rural Estate, Bedfordshire 45,000- 70,000 + Subsidised Estate Accommodation Are you passionate about historic buildings, beautiful architecture and the challenge of looking after properties that genuinely matter? This is a rare opportunity to live and work on a prestigious private rural estate in Bedfordshire, taking responsibility for an extraordinary and varied portfolio of historic and modern buildings. The Estate extends across thousands of acres and includes an impressive collection of properties ranging from timber-framed thatched cottages and Victorian buildings to traditional farm buildings, residential properties, commercial premises and a significant number of listed structures. This is certainly not a conventional Building Manager position. You could be dealing with the repair of a listed cottage one day, planning the refurbishment of an Estate property the next, working with specialist craftspeople on traditional materials, or looking at how modern sustainability and low-carbon technology can be sensitively introduced across the Estate. The opportunity As Head of Building Maintenance, you will take ownership of the repair, maintenance and long-term care of the Estate's buildings. You'll have the freedom and responsibility to really get to know the Estate and its properties, identifying what needs attention, planning works properly and making sure these remarkable buildings are looked after for generations to come. The role combines historic building conservation, building surveying, maintenance, project management and strategic estate management. You'll oversee planned and reactive maintenance, manage refurbishment and improvement projects, appoint and supervise contractors, diagnose building defects and help shape the Estate's longer-term maintenance programme. You'll also work closely with the Estate Director, owners, tenants, Estate team, consultants, contractors and specialist trades, so this would really suit someone who enjoys being part of a close-knit community rather than sitting behind a desk all day. A role for someone who loves buildings We're looking for someone who gets genuinely excited about historic and traditional buildings. You'll ideally have strong technical knowledge and understand how older buildings actually work, including traditional materials, construction techniques and appropriate conservation-led repairs. You'll be comfortable diagnosing defects and finding practical, sensible solutions, as well as managing projects from initial design and specification through procurement and construction to completion. Alongside the heritage side of the role, there is an opportunity to influence how the Estate evolves, including sustainability, energy efficiency, environmental monitoring and future improvement projects. Who are we looking for? You could currently be working as a Building Surveyor, Building Manager, Estates Surveyor, Property Manager or in a similar technical property role. Ideally, you will bring: Strong experience of building maintenance, refurbishment and project management A genuine passion for heritage, listed and traditional buildings Practical technical knowledge and the confidence to diagnose problems and recommend solutions Knowledge of building regulations, planning, Health & Safety and CDM The ability to manage contractors, projects, budgets and competing priorities A positive, approachable personality and a willingness to become part of Estate life Experience of working on a rural estate would be useful, but it isn't essential. Live and work on the Estate This is where the opportunity is particularly different! The successful candidate will live on the Estate, with subsidised accommodation forming part of the overall package. The position is fully site based, five days a week. You'll be surrounded by the buildings and Estate you are responsible for, working alongside the people who live and work there and becoming a genuine part of the Estate community. For the right person, it offers something increasingly unusual: a job, home and lifestyle centred around a beautiful historic rural Estate. If you are passionate about historic buildings and would love the opportunity to live and work on a beautiful rural Estate, this is a position well worth exploring. Apply today or contact Georgie Marden for a confidential conversation and further information. Aldwych Consulting values diversity and promotes equality. No terminology in this advert is intended to discriminate against any of the protected characteristics that fall under the Equality Act 2010. We encourage and welcome applications from all sections of society and are happy to discuss reasonable adjustments and/or additional arrangements as required to support your application.
