Associate Surveyor - Property Management Development Site About JLL JLL shapes the future of real estate through world-class services, advisory, and technology. The Associate Property Manager role in Property Management (PM) focuses on delivering exceptional property management, contributing to the Centre of Excellence, and maintaining strong client relationships. This is a rare opportunity to join an exciting portfolio in JLL's Property Management business — supporting a prestigious institutional client on a series of significant masterplan development schemes across the South and South West of England. Spanning live development land, evolving masterplans, and sites in transition from construction through to disposal, this role sits at the leading edge of how JLL delivers operational property management on some of the region's most ambitious and closely watched development schemes.

Maintain a clear, current understanding of site boundaries — retained land, ManCo-managed areas, sold or developer-controlled plots — and ensure operational activity is correctly scoped to land within the client's ongoing control only. ManCo & Residential Managing Agent Oversight (Supported) Support and engage with the oversight of appointed residential managing agents across a portfolio of sites at different stages of ManCo maturity, working closely with JLL and client stakeholders Contribute to a graduated oversight approach — from light-touch monitoring to more active engagement — appropriate to each site's risk profile and the client's stated requirements.
