A key priority will be successfully managing and reducing disrepair and DMC caseloads, working collaboratively across the organisation to understand recurring issues and put solutions in place. Where necessary, you may also act as an Expert Witness.

Alongside complex case management, you will:

• Lead the delivery of asset investment programmes, ensuring customers remain at the heart of decisions.
• Oversee contracts and contractors, including performance and budget management.
• Work closely with Asset Strategy, Housing Management, Repairs and Development colleagues.
• Use property and performance data to identify emerging priorities and improve stock condition.

• Strong contract, project, performance and financial management skills.
• Experience leading teams through change and developing colleagues.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• The ability to balance technical, customer and organisational considerations to reach practical solutions.
• A full clean UK driving licence.
