What you'll do at work

  • You will be encouraged to think commercially about how assets are managed and where value can be added.
  • Regular site visits will form part of the role, helping you build a detailed, practical understanding of buildings, maintenance challenges, and future development potential.
  • There will also be exposure to wider business activities, including business development initiatives.
  • This may include supporting the growth of Malins Private Client, with opportunities such as helping to establish and manage a dedicated Instagram presence.
