- Description
Estate Manager
Zachary Daniels is working with a well-loved, fast-growing international retail brand to find an Estate Manager who thrives in a hands-on, fast-paced environment.
This isn't a corporate desk job. If you're someone who likes to roll your sleeves up, get out to sites, solve problems in real time and take full ownership of projects from concept to completion this Estate Manager role could be for you.
The Role
As an Estate Manager, you'll take the lead on managing the full lifecycle of the retail estate across the UK & Ireland from new store openings and refits through to maintenance and compliance across existing sites.
It's a broad, high-impact role where you'll work closely with landlords, contractors, internal teams and external partners to deliver projects on time, on budget and to a high standard.
What You'll Be Doing
- Managing new store openings, refurbishments and fit-outs from concept through to delivery
- Overseeing repairs, maintenance and ongoing estate performance
- Leading project timelines, budgets and contractors on site
- Acting as the key link between internal stakeholders and external partners (landlords, agents, contractors)
- Handling site due diligence, planning and statutory approvals
- Driving quality, compliance and sustainability standards across the estate
- Identifying opportunities to improve processes, efficiency and cost control
- Building strong working relationships across a wide range of stakeholders
What We're Looking For
- Experience in estate management, retail construction or property project management
- Background in retail or hospitality environments is essential
- Proven track record delivering multi-site projects (openings, refits, maintenance)
- Strong understanding of leases, landlords and construction processes
- Comfortable managing budgets and working commercially
- A proactive, solutions-focused mindset - someone who just gets things done
- Confident communicator who can influence and manage multiple stakeholders
The Person
This business has a down-to-earth, "get stuck in" culture. You'll fit in if you are:
- Practical and hands-on not overly corporate or process-heavy
- Comfortable working at pace and adapting quickly
- Self-sufficient and able to take ownership without constant direction
- A problem-solver who enjoys being out in the field rather than behind a desk
The Package
- Salary up to £58,000 + bonus + full benefits package
- Field-based role with flexibility (home + office working)
- Significant travel across the UK & Ireland
- Opportunity to make a visible impact in a growing, people-focused business
If you're an Estate Manager looking for your next move and want a role where you can genuinely make an impact, this Estate Manager opportunity offers the chance to take full ownership in a dynamic environment.
