Job description

As a Planned Maintenance Surveyor, you will be part of a small team ensuring our residents in our rental and Community Living properties live in quality homes, though the specification and delivery of planned maintenance programmes. This role is part of a new team, managing works in the region of £8m per annum. You will work collaboratively with colleagues from across property and customer service teams and with external maintenance partners to deliver quality accommodation, value for money and compliance with regulatory standards.

You will combine technical knowledge with the ability to engage with and support our residents while working with contractors and external consultants to specify and deliver high quality works. You will be instructing and managing contractors yourself directly or via an externally appointed contract administrator.

You will be instrumental in the Pensions Board meeting obligations including:

• The anticipated implementation of a Decent Homes Standard
• Minimum EPC C and energy efficiency requirements
• The wider Church's aspirations in relation to Net Zero

Typical projects you may be responsible for include:

• External repairs and redecorations (including re-roofing and window replacements, paving, drainage and similar) to primarily street based housing
• Internal refurbishments including replacement kitchens, bathrooms/wetrooms, rewiring, heating upgrades and similar
• Energy saving and other works to assist the Board in meeting its net zero aspirations initially based on a fabric first approach before moving onto net zero technologies.
• Major projects at our Community Living Schemes such as window and roof replacements, internal works to residents' flats and upgrades/replacement of mechanical and electrical services.

Our properties are located throughout England, with a few in Wales. You will be visiting residents in their homes, and supervising the works of contractors and consultants will require meetings on site. This means you will need to work flexibly and on occasion, may require overnight stays away from home.

Our main office is in central London and you will need to attend the office for in-person meetings, training courses and other events on around a monthly basis.

Closing date 25th October 2026

Interviews will be held on 2nd and 3rd November 2026
