We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Stock Quality Manager to lead our stock condition survey programme and ensure high standards of quality assurance across our housing assets.

Hammersmith & Fulham is currently delivering an ambitious 22 development programme that will provide 1,800 new homes, making this an exciting time to join our team. You will play a crucial role in ensuring these new homes meet the highest quality standards and are seamlessly integrated into our housing stock. Alongside this, you will oversee the management of new housing developments, acquisitions, and lease-end properties, ensuring smooth handovers and robust quality control throughout the asset lifecycle.

• Work closely with technical teams to ensure smooth integration of new housing assets.
• Conduct on-site inspections to assess workmanship and regulatory compliance.
• Manage post-handover defect resolution and oversee the collection of all necessary certifications and documentation.
• Prepare technical reports and liaise with key stakeholders, including contractors, developers, and council representatives.

We are looking for a highly skilled and organised professional with:

• A relevant degree in construction, engineering, or a related field.
• Strong knowledge of housing condition surveys, building regulations, and compliance.
• A good understanding of HHSRS and Decent Homes regulations.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• A keen eye for detail and quality assurance, with the ability to resolve complex technical issues.
• Experience in local authority or housing associations (desirable).
