ROLE OVERVIEW
You will be the eyes and ears of Trinity Estates on the ground across Greater Manchester, making sure the buildings and communal areas we manage are safe, compliant and well-presented. Working in a hybrid, home-based set-up, you will plan and complete regular site inspections, capture issues clearly, and drive timely remedial action with contractors and colleagues.
Your local hub will be our Manchester office at Carvers Warehouse, Suite 2b, 77 Dale Street, Manchester, M1 2HG, where you’ll meet the wider team for briefings, collaboration and training. With a people-first approach, you’ll build trusted relationships with residents, contractors and internal teams, turning your detailed observations into tangible improvements residents can see and feel.
ROLE EXPECTATIONS
Most days you will be out on site conducting structured inspections, documenting findings in clear reports with photos, and raising works orders or actions. You will liaise with contractors to scope and verify remedial works, follow up on progress, and keep Property Managers and residents updated. You will balance planned inspection routes with responsive visits when issues arise.
