About the business

- Running pre-completion snagging and getting units handover-ready, from HUGs to keys
- Meeting residents on the big day — home demos, keys, the works
- Logging, allocating, and chasing defects until they're closed out, fast
- Building real relationships with residents, sub-contractors, and building managers
- Keeping the portfolio buildings sharp — regular site visits, compliance checks, and quick fixes
What you bring
- Solid grounding in construction, handover, or property management
