3. Performance management of contractors delivering repairs and planned works projects/contracts. Monitoring contractors to ensure timely delivery, analysing data, and reporting on performance against key performance indicators monthly.
4. Monitoring and supporting compliance and performance of fire risk assessments and testing programmes (water, electrical, gas, lifts).
5. Making technical decisions during property visits, creating work schedules for void properties, designing specifications, managing contracts, ensuring quality control, and overseeing one-off projects.
6. Delivering high satisfaction levels through effective communication and ensuring work meets legal standards and obligations.
