This is a pivotal leadership role within our Asset Management team, responsible for ensuring high-quality, cost-effective investment works that meet regulatory standards and exceed customer expectations.

In this role, you’ll manage a team of skilled surveyors and technical experts, overseeing the planning and delivery of major improvement works to our homes. From modernising kitchens and bathrooms to improving energy efficiency and fire safety, you’ll ensure everything is delivered to a high standard, safely, and with real value for money. You’ll work closely with contractors, consultants, and colleagues to build strong relationships, solve problems, and keep customers at the heart of all we do, while also helping secure our future supply chain through a long-term procurement project and implementing a new planning and delivery system designed to drive innovation and improve service and home quality.

Responsibilities

• Lead the delivery of capital investment programmes across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Oxfordshire.
• Manage a team of surveyors and technical experts; oversee planning and delivery of major home improvement works.
• Coordinate with contractors and consultants; ensure works meet safety, quality, and value-for-money benchmarks.

• Excellent leadership, team-building and motivational skills with the ability to coach and develop staff.
• Willingness to travel domestically; full driving license required. Role covers Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire and surrounding areas.

Working Arrangements

While this role is home-based, you’ll need to travel to Group offices and other sites as required. You will also join the Asset team’s out-of-hours escalation rota and provide decision-making support when needed.

Benefits

• Up to 28 days annual leave (plus bank holidays) with the option to buy and sell leave.
• Family-friendly policies including generous paternity, maternity, shared parental and adoption leave, plus 3 days paid Urgent Domestic Leave.
