and legionella checks to compliance records and audits — you’ll make sure we tick every box and act fast when something’s off

smoothly. Think lifts, pumps, HVAC and more. You’ll coordinate contractors, keep disruption low, and make sure everything’s up
to spec
* Managing Contractors - Bring on the right partners, keep them compliant and performing to standard. You’ll do the onboarding,
hold regular reviews, and make sure everyone delivers
