Building Manager

Building / Estates Manager

Location: Limelight, Elstree Way, Borehamwood, WD6 1JH

Working pattern: Monday–Friday | Fully site-based

About the role

We’re looking for a proactive, hands-on Building / Estates Manager to take ownership of Limelight, a Grade A office scheme comprising three interconnected buildings and an underground car park.

With an on-site café, gym, business lounge and shower facilities, tenant experience really matters.

You’ll be the visible presence on site, ensuring the estate is safe, well maintained and operating to a high standard, while building strong relationships with tenants, contractors and internal teams.

The opportunity

This is more than a reactive building management role. We want someone who spots issues, takes ownership and brings ideas to improve the site, particularly around ESG, sustainability and tenant engagement.

We’re particularly interested in someone from a luxury hospitality, concierge, front-of-house, facilities or high-end customer service background who combines exceptional client service with a practical understanding of buildings.

Above all, this role is about exceptional customer service, initiative and operational control — creating a high-quality environment that tenants are proud to work in.

You’ll be responsible for

• Managing day-to-day building operations, inspections and maintenance.
• Building strong relationships with tenants and responding to queries.
• Coordinating and challenging contractors to maintain high standards.
• Supporting health, safety and statutory compliance.
• Identifying defects, risks and opportunities for improvement.
• Coordinating works, projects, access and contractor activity.
• Maintaining accurate site records and reporting.
• Supporting tenant events, communications and occupier initiatives.

About you

You’ll ideally have experience in building management, facilities, front of house or another customer-facing operational environment, with:

• Strong tenant/customer service skills.
• Practical understanding of building operations and maintenance.
• Experience coordinating contractors and site activity.
• Good awareness of health & safety and compliance.
• Strong organisation and attention to detail.
• The confidence to take ownership, challenge standards and resolve issues.
• IOSH, NEBOSH or a relevant facilities qualification

Most importantly, you’ll take pride in your building, act quickly and take ownership when things go wrong and care about delivering a great experience for tenants.
