Estates managers, authorised engineers, and hard services supervisors with NHS HTM knowledge are consistently recruited. The NHS estate in Suffolk has faced significant backlog maintenance challenges, creating sustained demand for project managers and building surveyors with healthcare capital programme experience.

Property managers and facilities coordinators with commercial leasing knowledge and service charge management experience are sought by the landlords and managing agents responsible for the waterfront portfolio.
