The Ringley Group's customer focus sets a benchmark in the industry.  We support people who live in communal environments: leaseholders in new build homes, owners who have bought their freehold and those who rent.   All our property people are creative problem solvers and aim to protect and enhance asset value through a range of operational management strategies.  We are proud to be tenure blind and that our work enables Clients to pay people's pensions and invest in finding a cure for cancer.

The teams within our group cover:  Finding Land, Valuations, Building Engineering, Lettings Management, Service Charge Management, Facilities Management, Asset Management and we have a Solicitors practice and our own PropTech Teams and products too.

As an award-winning property specialist 5* company The Ringley Group has gained a reputation as an employer that rewards hard work and develops talent.  Described by one client as being ‘like the cavalry coming over the hill’, The Ringley Group does exactly what it says in its mission statement: We strive to offer:  ‘good advice, great service by brilliant people, every time’.

We put these words into practice by investing in the continuing professional development of our people.  We love to celebrating what we achieve as individuals and as a team.  In fact, we have filled our mantelpiece with accolades including a World Skills national training award, Property Week and Times property management awards, awards for corporate social responsibility, and have been singled out as Employer of the Year at the Camden and Islington Business Awards.

Our history:   Established in 1997, the name Ringley was an anagram of our founder’s names. Our logo is a hybrid of the former RICS lion and the homa bird; which brought with it a deeper meaning that just seemed to fit.  The Homa bird – the Persian symbol of fame and fortune which dates back some 2,500 years.  The mythical story is that whosoever alights will have fame and fortune. The homa bird combines the body of a lion, mane of a horse, eye of an eagle and ear of a deer; these represent courage, strength, vision and listening.

Empathy, emotional intelligence are key requirements and right from the start we have always looked to recruit people who we could imagine giving up their time to visit granny. To us this meant respect, listening and learning. 

The 1993 Act was pivotal. We saw a future where Leaseholders could expect service, not just transactions. We wanted to be 'reassuringly better' and transparent in all our dealings. By 2003 it seemed natural to write up '100 percent transparency, just ask' as our brand promise.   In 2010 we introduced a 'money back guarantee'.

By 2010 we had achieved our initial mission was 'to become a one stop property shop’ with each of the specialist teams in the group established.   We then re-wrote our vision as 'good advice, great service, by brilliant people.... Every time', and in short our mission is simply 'to generate recommendations' reminders of this stand proud in our offices today – and we pay out all the superstars who get recommendations, introduce work etc….

We are looking for a practical, analytical, no-nonsence person to be part of our growing Fire and Facilities Management Team based in Camden Town, London NW1.

About you 
If you are technically minded, love to know how things work and can explain and share that with people, then we are looking for you.  We need you to be inquisitive, as asking questions is the only way to agree on both the right course of action and the price.  The ability to haggle and use comparative pricing to get best value is also a skill we are looking for.

What a Junior Facilties Manager does 
Our team does vital work to plan and manage all types of plant and equipment from lifts to sprinklers. We also manage the programme of fire door inspections and liaise with the fire service liaison to help keep their records up to date for our high-rise buildings.  It is serious work, so we are methodical and careful. We stick to the process and have tools to help us know what needs doing when, as well as robots to do a chunk of the chasing for us.  We are developing our tech and tools further to capture component failure costs so as.we grow we can easily use comparative pricing - it is always important to know that contractors are not opportunistic and to deliver value for money.  

Experience within the team will help you grow to interpret engineers' reports  to preserve both the lifespan of equipment and the safety of residents too.   

Another part of how we inform our Clients is by setting budgets for plant maintenance to support the Relationship Managers whose job it is to manage all other aspects for the Client.  That said, our team are best placed to answer questions about what plant and machinery does we are not Client shy and relish the opportunity to share our knowledge.
