Job description

A Council in West Sussex is looking for a hands-on, results-driven Interim Asset Manager to step into a high-impact role for the next stage of a major property data and capital works programme for 6 months.

The mission?
A stock condition survey programme is halfway there, but has been on pause. You'll pick up the baton, take the survey data, and turn it into a fully costed, deliverable capital programme. From there, you'll procure the contracts and oversee delivery so everything's on track for completion by September/October.

What you'll be doing:

• Taking raw stock condition survey (SCS) data and shaping it into a strategic capital plan.

• Managing procurement for works contracts.

• Driving project delivery to deadlines.

• Working with a small, skilled team (a couple of surveyors).

What we need from you:

• Proven experience in asset management and capital programme creation.

• Confident in turning data into actionable investment plans.

• Procurement know-how and project delivery expertise.

• Able to balance strategy with getting stuck into the detail.

• 2/3 days in the office/on site.

(The permanent version of this role is advertised at over 52k - so if you impress, there's a potential long-term future here.)
