Ūkio dalies vedėjas is, more colloquially, the ūkvedys. The person who manages repairs, inventory, cleaning, health and safety compliance, and all things relating to the upkeep of the "plant" (to use an accounting term) of an organization.

In the UK specifically, "ūkio dalis" could also be translated as "general services" (falling under "business services") or the "estates" [office/services] of an organization.

Property Manager


Explanation:
Tricky. Without context it could refer to:
farm – ferma, ūkis, vienkiemis, gyvenamasis namas
economy – ekonomika, ūkis, ekonomija, taupymas, ekonomiškumas, taupumas
economics – ekonomika, ūkis
property — nuosavybė, turtas, savybė, ypatybė, valda, ūkis
Without context, chances are it's "property manager".

OK, then "Property Manager" sounds reasonable to me.
