Contribute to Hightown's Asset Management and Sustainability Strategies, supporting long-term investment and environmental objectives.
Build strong partnerships with contractors, development teams, residents and external stakeholders to support effective service delivery and the successful handover of new homes.
Lead, inspire and develop high-performing teams, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration and exceptional customer service.
