- A detailed knowledge of the working practices and demands of a large complex public building and/or listed building.
- Previous knowledge and experience of maintaining buildings of historic, heritage importance.
- Good working knowledge of statutory compliance within a medium to large, diverse, and complex estate.
- People management skills to supervise team members to ensure they have the requisite skills and knowledge, and are competent and supported through training and coaching to achieve consistently high standards of performance.
- Ability to react quickly to situations, to be reliable and resilient, to perform consistently under pressure and to respond positively to changing circumstances.
We value the diversity new hires can bring to our workforce. A working knowledge of our repertoire is not essential, but the ability to learn quickly is.
