Estate Operative (Part Time: 25 hours a week)

The Company

Found is the exclusive in-house operator of market leading UK developer FEC… so you just know it’s gotta’ be good right?

And we are on a mission… to be the no.1, experience led, brand-centric 360 lifestyle operator in the UK. Not just for a ‘time in life’, but for a lifetime. If you aren’t up for that, no problem, but now is the time to stop reading.

Still with us? Great. Let’s get into it.

We’re actually pretty special… totally unique to the market, we are the only operator across residential and commercial markets, encompassing block, property, asset, lettings, green space and estates management. We are into every inch of it.

We are obsessed with experience led living, and we view every touch point with our customers as an experience to maximise and as an opportunity to add value. From greeting our residential customers at the door at the end of every day, to supporting our commercial clients in their own growth, to onboarding and viewing - we sweat the small stuff, ensuring our buildings, homes, neighbourhoods and green spaces come to life.

Found isn't here to be another ‘me too’ operator. We are here to collaborate, innovate, pioneer, unite and progress. To drive the market forward and set new benchmarks in the UK property market. We keep it real, by being good to do business with, and providing a great service. Simple really.

Why? Above all else, for experience.

The Role

The Estates Operative will split their time between Collyhurst and our Commercial sites to ensure their estates are safe and spotless. See below for key responsibilities, but as a business we are all about mucking in, pushing forward and making great things happen.
