Experience leading large multi-trade teams and managing subcontractor partners
Strong understanding of responsive repairs and housing maintenance delivery
Strong knowledge of health & safety and compliance requirements
A relevant qualification such as CIOB, RICS, HNC or degree would be advantageous, although relevant experience will be equally valued
A full UK driving licence
The Role
Reporting to the Operations Director, you’ll take senior responsibility for the delivery and performance of multiple social housing repairs, voids and cyclical maintenance contracts.
You’ll provide clear direction across a large operational function, ensuring customers receive a high-quality service while the business achieves its financial, contractual and performance objectives.
Your responsibilities will include:
Taking overall operational responsibility for responsive repairs, voids and maintenance delivery
Leading and developing large, multi-trade operational teams and subcontractor supply chains
Owning P&L performance, cost control, WIP, debt and margin improvement
Driving productivity, efficiency and continuous improvement across the operation
Using performance data and reporting to identify trends, risks and opportunities
Ensuring contractual, regulatory, health & safety and compliance requirements are consistently met
Holding regular operational and commercial performance reviews, challenging results and agreeing clear improvement actions
What’s on offer?
Up to £90,000 salary car allowance
25 days annual leave bank holidays
Flexible working opportunities
Paid volunteering leave
Family-friendly policies
Employee Assistance Programme and counselling support
Long-term career opportunities within a large housing and facilities services organisation
