Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, United Kingdom Manston Investments Full time £40,000 - £55,000
Job Description

Manston Investments Ltd is seeking an experienced and entrepreneurial Building Surveyor to join our expanding business at a pivotal time in its long-term development. We are looking for a skilled professional to head up a significant program of new acquisitions and refurbishment, while working on our core freehold commercial property investment portfolio.

This is a flexible role (3 days per week) that would suit those operating a portfolio career, looking to act on a consultancy basis, or those who wish to maintain a less than full-time position within the industry. The firm is open to discussing whether this would be an employed (PAYE) role or a consultancy role.

Manston currently owns a portfolio of over 30 commercial properties, with a few assets spread further afield. We also own land with development potential, and it is expected that the successful candidate will be instrumental in the successful stewardship and improvement of this land. The portfolio includes industrial, warehousing, office, out-of-town retail, and High Street properties.

The role would be ideal for someone who enjoys seeing a problem through to a solution, combining both diligence and imagination in their work. The successful candidate will be someone who can respond appropriately to changing priorities and enjoy a flexible and varied work-stream encompassing many aspects of the building surveying profession.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide support to the business as a whole, primarily to the Property Team, in the day-to-day activity of managing the portfolio and tenants, including occupied and void properties.
  • Carry out routine inspections of properties to confirm their current status and condition.
  • Assist with acquisition due diligence and provide opinions on building condition.
  • Advise the business on current and emerging legislative and regulatory requirements within the built environment sphere.
  • Take a proactive approach to identifying and resolving property issues within the firm.
  • Act as Principal Designer/Contract Administrator where appropriate.
  • Carry out Insurance Reinstatement Cost valuations for the portfolio and be comfortable deriving and presenting budget figures for programs of works.
  • Present opportunities for development and improvement of the portfolio to the Board of Directors, having a strong grasp of the business and economic case for a project alongside its technical aspects.

It is expected that the successful candidate will play a significant role in defining their own long-term objectives and work well independently, without being micro-managed.

Manston Investments pride ourselves on being a very open organization, and it is expected that the successful candidate will be integral to the development of further growth strategies and have a close working relationship with the Board of Directors and the executive team.

The candidate will report jointly to the Operations Director (Head of the Property Department) and the Managing Director. While there will be some travel and site-visiting involved in the role, the expectation is that the successful candidate will be primarily based at our offices, although the firm maintains a flexible work-from-home scheme.

Manston sees this as an important role in its ongoing development and would expect to remunerate the candidate appropriately, considering both their experience and their potential.

We do not consider that years post-qualification are the sole indicator of suitability for this role.

Benefits

  • £40,000-£55,000 FTE (flexible range depending upon experience)
  • Generous annual bonus scheme
  • BUPA Health Insurance
  • Full support and investment for CPD and relevant qualifications and courses
  • Car mileage allowance
  • Flexible WFH policies

Manston is proud to be accredited as 'Gold' by Investors in People.
