This is an opportunity to take ownership of asbestos remedial projects across a large and varied housing portfolio, working for one of the South of England's leading housing providers.

You will manage projects from the initial scope through to completion, with the autonomy to plan the work, manage contractors and make sure every project is delivered safely, compliantly and to a high standard.

Essential Requirements

• BOHS P402, or both P403 and P404, or an accepted equivalent qualification.
• Demonstrable asbestos experience gained in a similar role with a housing association, asbestos contractor or consultancy.

Why consider this opportunity?

You’ll be joining a financially secure, purpose‑led housing provider at a time of major investment in its existing homes. Safety, quality and customer experience sit at the heart of its current five‑year strategy, giving this position genuine visibility and long‑term importance.

The portfolio is large enough to offer variety, professional challenge and the chance to manage projects across different property types and locations. You’ll be supported by an experienced asbestos function, approved framework contractors and colleagues across property, compliance and customer services.

There is also a clear commitment to developing people. Alongside ongoing professional training, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work towards a recognised Project Management qualification.

Most importantly, the work has a clear purpose. The projects you deliver will directly protect residents, maintain safe homes and support the organisation's wider compliance responsibilities.
