helping with home and estate inspections and mutual exchanges
- Playing your part in an office cover rota to provide appropriate technical cover and

handover to the out of hours service
- Being involved in a rota system (usually one week in every nine) to provide ad hoc

evening and weekend phone support for contractors and customers when emergency
situations arise. This may also require occasional on-site attendance of emergency
work e.g. major fires, floods etc. acting on our behalf. You may also be required to act
as support to other on-call staff where higher level management input is needed or
where escalation is required.

**Where you have come from**:

- A place where you have managed large scale and small property related work and

delivered works by supervising contractors or in house maintenance staff
