Building / Estates Manager

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

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 .
