Spanish term

area de patrimonio

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Notarized document
This is from the same batch of documents as my previous question. It is a Spanish contract for maintenance services that says the company hired to do the maintenance did so to the satisfaction of the client and was paid for their services. This must be into UK English.

At the beginning of the document it says:

D. Felipe XXXXXXXXXXX Teniente Coronel y Gestor del Área de Patrimonio en XXXXX

Since the document is talking about maintenance performed on a military housing compound, I would assume this is military jargon for a department managing financial resources. At the bottom there is a stamp that says:

Subdelegación de Defensa en XXXX - Área de Patrimonio, Gestor

Anyone have any idea? Thank you all in advance.

property/assets manager (but see below)

Patrimonio is another difficult word. It basically means property in the wider sense (i.e. not just real estate), and in accounting is 'assets and liabilities', or 'equity' etc., but in this case I suspect the job may involve contracting/procurement as well.

As with 'expediente', property is the widest catch all which would do. Assets manager would also do.

If you encounter a more precise definition of the job or department it would be appropriate to expand the term to fit the reality of the situation but otherwise I would use one of these two alternatives.
