This role involves surveying, costing, planning, executing, and managing a wide range of maintenance works across multiple commercial properties. You would be expected to manage various trades including groundworks, surfacing, painting and decorating, glazing, roofing, electrical works, access control, CCTV, and other related services.
The position requires strong organisational and technical capabilities, including:
- Managing multiple projects simultaneously across sites in the South East and South West
- Preparing and reviewing Risk Assessments and Method Statements
- Coordinating subcontractors and overseeing works on site

We are looking for an individual who demonstrates the following:
- A high level of integrity, honesty, and dedication to client service
- A trade-based background (e.g. plumbing, electrical, painting & decorating), or experience as a Building Manager / Facilities Manager / Project Manager looking to move into a contractor environment
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Good IT proficiency, particularly in Excel and Word, with CRM experience being advantageous
- Flexibility and the ability to adapt to a fast-paced and varied workload
- A self-motivated and proactive approach, as the role is largely remote, with travel to sites required as necessary
- Willingness to travel across the region, including longer distances where required
- An entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to manage client expectations effectively
The role offers a great deal of autonomy and responsibility, supported by a collaborative team environment, with weekly team catch-ups held at our Tilbury office.

We pride ourselves on providing honest, transparent advice, always prioritising what is in the best interest of the client, even where that may not be the most profitable option for us.
At BES Services, honesty and integrity are fundamental to everything we do, and these values are reflected across our entire team.
