Our organisation is all about people: the people who live in our homes, the communities we serve, and those we work with. We recruit for attitude and behaviour which are central to building relationships and delivering great experiences. We employ colleagues who are passionate about making a difference and who take responsibility to get things done.

As a not-for-profit housing association, we provide affordable homes and services to more than 20,000 people across Greater Manchester. We have a strong social purpose and make it our mission to enable people to live well in their homes and communities.

We’re looking for someone who can play a key role in identifying and resolving complex defects and hazard issues, overseeing and managing associated works. You’ll provide technical expertise in relation to building defects and complex issues, determining appropriate remedial action as a long-term resolution.

Additionally, we seek candidates who can contribute to the analysis of building defects to identify trends as part of a proactive, planned preventative maintenance approach and develop programmes of work to resolve issues before they become costly repair problems that negatively impact budgets and the quality of our customers' homes.

You’ll ensure the effective management of building work; ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required standards while providing efficient and effective technical expertise, contract management, planning, and liaison with relevant parties.

We need people who are / have:

1. A construction-related qualification e.g. ONC (or equivalent)
2. Experience dealing with complex repairs, disrepair, and Damp & Mould compliance
3. Experience of Health & Safety and legislative and regulatory requirements for a construction-related function
4. Ideally, experience within the housing sector or similar environment, with familiarity in housing management associated information systems
5. Knowledge of governance compliance management within a housing environment to ensure robust compliant operations
6. Experience of successful delivery of property-related works in a customer-centric environment

Due to the nature of the role, a full valid driving license and access to your own vehicle is required.

Everyone’s welcome here. Our culture is inclusive, and we are committed to increasing diversity. We enable everyone to be themselves at work so that they feel at home with us. We trust and support people to do their best in a role that is fulfilling and rewarding because we know that this helps us to deliver better outcomes for our customers and our colleagues. We also encourage applications from females across the association in areas where we are underrepresented, such as Trades and Construction.

If you want to be part of our team and help us make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
