Estate Manager

An established estate management company is seeking a well-organised, administratively strong Estate Manager to take responsibility for the day-to-day running of a large residential sectional title scheme.

This is an admin-heavy, site-based role suited to a methodical, self-directed person who enjoys keeping systems in order, coordinating service providers, and keeping trustees and residents well informed. Prior estate or property experience is beneficial but not required — we're happy to train the right person.

Key responsibilities:

• Maintain accurate records, registers and filing for the scheme (access, maintenance, correspondence, service provider documentation)
• Log, track and follow up on maintenance and resident tickets through to resolution
• Prepare operational reports, meeting packs and correspondence for the managing agent and trustees
• Handle day-to-day resident queries and complaints professionally and fairly, keeping clear records of each
• Coordinate appointed service providers (security, cleaning, gardening, access control and maintenance contractors) and monitor their attendance and performance against their scopes
• Assist with procurement administration — requesting and collating quotations against standardised scopes and presenting them for trustee approval
• Support access control and security administration, including code management and reporting
• Conduct routine site checks and record estate condition, open items and incidents
• Follow up on trustee resolutions and keep action registers up to date
• Help ensure compliance with relevant legislation and standards (e.g., CSOS regulations, STSMA etc.)

Requirements:

• Strong administrative and organisational skills, with excellent attention to detail
• Confident written and verbal communication; firm but collegial in tone
• Comfortable with email, spreadsheets and standard office software
• Reliable, self-directed and able to manage competing priorities independently
• A professional, level-headed approach to resident and contractor interactions
• Valid driver's licence and reliable transportation
• Estate, property or facilities experience beneficial but not required
