3What this role really is

This job means keeping properties running smoothly day to day, handling tenant issues, vendors and maintenance from start to finish.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Vendor Selection for Routine Repairs Suggest preferred vendors from an approved list, requires manager approval. Select from an approved vendor list for routine repairs within budget; escalate for new vendors or significant costs. Approve new vendors for routine work, negotiate rates for specific services.
Work Order Prioritisation Prioritise based on immediate guidance from supervisor or clear, pre-defined rules. Independently triage and prioritise work orders based on urgency (P1-P4) and impact, escalating complex conflicts. Define and refine work order prioritisation protocols for the team, handle complex escalations.
Budget Approval for Repairs No independent approval; all costs require supervisor sign-off. Approve urgent repairs up to £1,000-£2,000 within pre-approved categories; all others require manager approval. Approve repairs up to £5,000-£10,000; recommend larger capital expenditures.
Tenant Communication Strategy Follow templates and supervisor instructions for tenant updates. Draft and send routine tenant communications (e.g., service updates, planned outages), seeking review for sensitive issues. Develop communication strategies for major incidents or complex tenant relations, train junior staff.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Work Order Close-Out Time (Non-Emergency)
The average time it takes from a tenant reporting an issue to it being fully resolved and closed in our system.
Target · < 48 hours

If a tenant reports a broken light on Monday morning, the work order should be closed by Wednesday morning at the latest. We'll look at the average across all your non-urgent tasks.

Invoice Processing Accuracy
The percentage of vendor invoices processed without errors or requiring correction before payment.
Target · > 99%

Out of 100 invoices processed in a month, no more than one should have a wrong coding or missing detail that holds up payment. Getting this right saves everyone a headache.

Tenant Satisfaction Score (Service Requests)
The average rating tenants give for their experience with a service request, usually via a quick survey after resolution.
Target · > 4.5 / 5.0

After a repair, tenants get a quick email asking 'How did we do?'. We're aiming for consistently high scores because it shows you're communicating well and getting things fixed properly.

Preventive Maintenance Schedule Adherence
The percentage of scheduled preventive maintenance tasks (e.g., HVAC checks) that are completed on time.
Target · 100%

If the HVAC PM is scheduled for 15th March, it needs to happen on or before that date. Missing these can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the line.

Vendor Relationship & Communication
How effectively you manage and communicate with our service providers, ensuring they understand expectations and deliver on time.
  • Vendors consistently meet SLAs
  • few complaints from vendors about unclear instructions
  • proactive communication when issues arise
  • positive feedback from Property Managers on vendor coordination.
Proactive Issue Identification
Your ability to spot potential problems on the property before they escalate into major issues or tenant complaints.
  • You flag a worn carpet in the lobby before a tenant complains
  • you notice a small leak during a walk-through and get it fixed before it becomes a flood
  • fewer 'surprise' emergencies reported by tenants.
Documentation Quality & Completeness
The accuracy and thoroughness of your records for work orders, vendor details, and property information.
  • All work orders have clear notes and close-out details
  • vendor COIs are always up-to-date in the system
  • audit trails are easy to follow
  • others can easily pick up your work.
Tenant Communication & Expectation Management
How well you keep tenants informed about their service requests and manage their expectations, especially during delays.
  • Tenants consistently receive timely updates
  • you de-escalate frustrated tenants effectively
  • positive comments in surveys about your communication style
  • Property Managers don't need to step in to manage tenant complaints.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Problems & Creating Order

You get a real kick out of taking a chaotic situation – a burst pipe, multiple tenant complaints – and systematically bringing it back to normal. You enjoy the challenge of figuring out the best solution and seeing the process work.

Successfully coordinating a complex repair involving multiple vendors and getting a 'thank you' email from a relieved tenant.

Being the Go-To Person

You like being the central point of contact, the person people rely on for answers and solutions. You thrive on having ownership of tasks and being trusted to get them done.

Property Managers and tenants come to you directly for updates because they know you'll have the answers or know where to get them.

Tangible Impact & Visible Results

You enjoy seeing the direct results of your work – a repaired system, a clean common area, a happy tenant. You like jobs where you can point to something and say, 'I sorted that out.'

Walking through a newly refurbished common area or seeing a previously broken system now working perfectly.

What frustrates people
  • The Squeeze: Being the person stuck between an irate tenant and a slow vendor, absorbing the complaints from both sides.
  • The Paper Chase: Spending ages chasing down non-compliant vendors for updated COIs, W-9s, and correctly formatted invoices just so they can get paid.
  • Budget vs. Reality: Knowing the proper, long-term fix for a recurring issue but being forced to approve yet another cheap, temporary repair due to budget constraints.
  • The 'Emergency' That Isn't: Getting a panicked call at 10 PM on a Friday about an office being 'too cold,' only to find out a single employee left a window open.
  • Vendor No-Shows: The helplessness of having to tell a tenant that the plumber you scheduled simply didn't turn up, making you look incompetent.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable 9-to-5: Expect urgent calls and unexpected issues that disrupt your day.
  • Constant external praise: Much of your best work is preventative and thus goes unnoticed.
  • Full autonomy on major decisions: You'll be making routine decisions, but big budget calls or strategic changes aren't yours.
  • A completely paperless environment: While we use digital tools, there's still a fair bit of documentation and chasing physical copies.

8Who you work with

This role directly impacts tenant satisfaction and retention by ensuring prompt and effective resolution of property issues. It also helps control operational costs by coordinating vendors efficiently and ensuring compliance. A well-run property means happier tenants, fewer complaints, and a better reputation for us. Get it wrong, and you're looking at frustrated tenants, escalating costs, and potentially empty units.

Inside the business
  • Property Managers
  • Leasing Team
  • Finance Department
  • Security Team
Outside the business
  • Tenants (Commercial & Residential)
  • Service Vendors (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, cleaning, security)
  • Contractors for minor works

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of experience in an administrative, coordination, or customer service role, ideally within a property, facilities, or operations environment.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise effectively in a busy setting.
  • Demonstrable experience with a work order management system (CMMS/IWMS) or similar database.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with a knack for dealing with people at all levels.
  • A solid grasp of Microsoft Office Suite, especially Excel for tracking and basic reporting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Imagine cutting down on the tedious admin, getting ahead of maintenance issues, and making tenant communications a breeze. That's what AI can do for you in this role. We're not talking about robots taking over; we're talking about smart tools that free you up to do the interesting, problem-solving parts of your job.

In property services, you're constantly juggling requests, invoices, and tenant updates. AI isn't here to replace you, but to be your super-efficient assistant. It can handle the repetitive stuff, giving you more time to build relationships, proactively identify issues, and ensure our properties are truly well-managed.

Automated Invoice Processing

AI tools can scan, read, and correctly code incoming vendor invoices directly into our accounting system (like Yardi). It'll flag any discrepancies or invoices without a purchase order for your review, cutting down hours of manual data entry and reducing errors.

Predictive Maintenance Analysis

Imagine knowing an HVAC unit might fail before it actually breaks down. AI analyses data from building sensors to predict potential equipment failures. This lets you schedule proactive maintenance, shifting from costly reactive repairs to planned, efficient service, and reducing those urgent, late-night calls.

Smart Vendor Vetting

When you need a new vendor, AI assistants can quickly research potential candidates. They'll scrape online data for safety records (like OSHA violations), financial stability reports, client reviews, and COI compliance history, giving you a quick risk score and saving you hours of due diligence.

AI-Powered Tenant Comms

AI can draft initial responses to common tenant requests, like 'It's too hot/cold' or 'When is the window washer coming?' It can also generate standardised Statements of Work (SOW) templates based on a few key inputs, ensuring consistency and saving you time on drafting emails and documents.
