Property Officer

[cougar]

Anybody in this line? The certification costs 5k+, and can be completed in 7 weeks. Is there a demand for this job?

[cougar]

nobody, work this line? I thinking of a career change to do property mgt leh, cos i like maintaining them.

[welly]

what r u up to nw?

[cougar]

what r u up to nw?

 

Simi lah, stagnant in my accounting field, wana switch a line that interests me. I am prepare for a paycut for this. You have some knowledge of this line of work? I know its like managing the upkeep of buildings like condos, apartments etc.

This job is not bad. Demand also quite high, some of my friends manage to find job after grad, working in town council and office building. Working hours "flexible" also. I got my diploma in Facilities Management from Ngee Ann Poly.

 

I would say this job require good PR skill (communicate with tenants or residents), technical knowledge must be good (so that contractor will not "hiong" you easily). But 1 thing to take note is that it's good to have a Fire Safety Manager Cert which have to go through SCDF.

 

Maybe I can share a little about the "flexible" working hour. If you are working in shopping center, taking care the property, some maintenance work have to be carried out during late hours. Why I know is becoz my project mates and I had film a video about escalator maintenance in one of the shopping mall. The maintenance starts from 10.30pm to past midnight.

 

For office buildings, some maintenance and A&A work can only carry out during weekend as it is too noisy.

 

For town council, I heard from my friend that have to attend RC meetings at night and the MP visits which is usually on the weekend.

 

Last but not least, this job require to be pro-active rather than reactive.

 

This job is always on the move and meeting people. So it is suitable for those who do not like routine job.

Source for those managing agents, who willing to take on the job for 24k per year contract. They could manage it far better with network of handyman, cleaners, contractors, and also use existing workers onsite to get the management going. That is if your boss agrees, becos his job will be on the line!!!

Thats for big pty mgt like Jones Lang Lasalle, or Capital Land, we are talking abt small mgt agent for condos, small industrial, commercial buildings.

If you ready wanna in this line, get Fire Safety Manager (FSM) certificate first. If not, you may find yourself neither here & there.

 

Only places that FSM is not necessary is residential property.

 

FSM is not so easy to pass now adays, then I suggest pass FSM before you enroll into property Manager course.

 

Residential property need not FSM at the moment, however you must have good PR & prepared to swallow many nonsenses from home owner. If not, you become another type of FSM - Fast sure mati.
