About the role – what does a Regional Property Manager do?
We own 2,400 pubs nationwide and have a huge focus on asset protection. The Regional Property Manager (RPM) is key to this strategy, responsible for maintaining the internal and external fabric of our fantastic pubs.

The region that you’ll cover is Leeds and Humberside, which includes Leeds, Wakefield, Halifax, Huddersfield, North Lincolnshire and Hull
You’ll be managing budgets and working closely with a range of colleagues, suppliers, contractors and lessees/tenants to make the right decisions and ensure our pubs are safe for our lessees and their customers, as well as progressively improving both condition and sustainability.

About the RPM team – who will you be working with?
This role reports to Simon Waters our Regional Property Controller. Here’s what he has to say about the opportunity:

“You’ll be joining my team of RPM’s and you’ll feel supported, not only by me, but the great team you will work within. You will be managing your own time, so will need to be really organised. You will be empowered and encouraged every step of the way. We meet regularly as a team both face to face and on Microsoft Teams. This enables us to ensure that we are aligned as a team as well as supporting each other and celebrating the successes together.

“As a Manager, I will aim to get to know what makes you tick – how can I help you get the best of you. I am committed to developing my team and will always discuss your development plans first when we meet up – to ensure we have enough time and it doesn’t get diluted by other things. I want us to win together and take genuine pride in what we do. Above all, I’m available whenever you need me and put a big focus on team spirit and spending time together.

“You will need to have a positive attitude, be resilient, organised and be able to prioritise well and at pace.  You will need to  have real conversations, whether its delivering good news or bad. We’ll back you with trust to deliver and you’ll never feel on your own.”

About you – what are we looking for?
If you’re currently working in property and have multi-site experience, we’d  love to hear from you.

If the terms “reactive repairs”, “planned maintenance”, “capital investment” and “dilapidations” are all familiar to you – that’s a great start.

This role is all about the ongoing maintenance and improvement of multiple buildings and therefore formal qualifications in building surveying or facilities management (RICS qualified Building Surveyor, or CIOB chartered/BSc in building surveying) would be beneficial (or a proven track record of managing projects/repairs and maintenance across a multi-site portfolio). You should be able to evidence where you’ve demonstrated your ability to successfully control budgets too.

Customers are at the heart of this role and working with new and outgoing pub operators to help them understand their repair obligations and the dilapidations process is key – you’ll need to be able to communicate well and follow up on your commitments. You should therefore be able to share your experience of successful stakeholder management and building great relationships.

As elements of the role will centre around health and safety and management of projects, you’ll have experience of working effectively within an environment where there’s a strong compliance culture - managing third parties, seeing projects through to completion and navigating the complex challenges.

You’ll be out and about a lot, so you’ll need to be organised, prepared and a great proactive communicator.
