Project Manager - Decarbonisation and Planned Investment

Salary: £52,000 per annum plus benefits (pro rata for part time)

Location: Leatherhead, Surrey

Hours: 37 hours, Full time (Mon - Fri)

About us:

Each year, we provide housing and support for more than 1,800 socially excluded and vulnerable people across Surrey, parts of Berkshire, West Sussex, and South-West London.

We make a difference to clients by enabling them to feel valued and supported. We have a strong sense of social responsibility and believe everyone should be able to live independent and fulfilling lives. Our values - respect, empowerment, responsibility, and excellence - guide everything we do.

The Role:

We're proud to be investing in the future of our homes and the environment. You'll play a pivotal role in delivering key improvement programmes across our housing portfolio.

You'll lead on the delivery of our Warm Homes Programme, focused on energy efficiency and thermal improvement measures, alongside broader capital works such as kitchens, bathrooms, windows, doors, and roofs. From managing decarbonisation projects aligned with Net Zero targets to overseeing cyclical maintenance and planned works, your expertise will help ensure every home we manage is safe, sustainable, and high quality.

You'll manage internal and external partners, control budgets, lead procurement, and ensure performance meets both regulatory standards and client expectations. It's a role that demands both strategic thinking and practical delivery-and offers the chance to make a real difference for the long term.

Based in our central office, this is a hybrid role with regular travel required across our operating area, so access to suitable transport is essential.

We're looking for someone who can:

• Lead the delivery of planned investment, capital works, and retrofit projects to time, quality, and budget
• Manage consultants and contractors, ensuring high standards and contract compliance
• Apply strong knowledge of asset management, energy efficiency, and sustainability in social housing
• Use data to inform investment planning and manage stock condition databases
• Identify and pursue funding opportunities to support decarbonisation and retrofit programmes
• Ensure compliance with health & safety, CDM regulations, and procurement legislation
• Develop specifications and maintain standards across a diverse property portfolio
• Communicate effectively with colleagues, contractors, residents, and external stakeholders
• Work independently and make sound decisions

Our benefits are great too, they include:

• The opportunity to buy or sell up to five days annual leave per holiday year.
• A defined contribution pension scheme and life assurance.
• A comprehensive range of discounts and wellbeing resources through our benefits platform.

At Transform we celebrate diversity and know that it is critical for our success. We work hard to make sure we're inclusive, so we want to hear from anyone who is great at what they do and who shares our values.
