With multiple contractors delivering across a national portfolio, you’ll set clear expectations, chair performance meetings, conduct full audits and ensure each contract delivers outstanding value, safety, and quality.
Drive Continuous Improvement and Compliance Culture
You’ll work closely with H&S, Property, Procurement and Operational colleagues – maintaining confidence in our compliance regimes, supporting colleagues with technical advice, and promoting best practice throughout the business.
Deliver Smart, Safe, Efficient Programs
From budget control and MI reporting to service contract mobilisation and remedial works management, you’ll ensure our systems, processes, and governance are robust, efficient, and resident focused.

What you’ll need:

Knowledge of statutory legislation including LOLER, EAWR, PUWER, CDM, H&S at Work Act and relevant British Standards.
