Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Every day there is a different challenge and task to undertake. Day to day involves management of properties on rural estates that we look after on behalf of clients. Management can include property maintenance, nationally significant infrastructure projects, estate budgets, just to name a few. The job is so varied you never know what might come across the desk!
