There is no better place to work in London than Hackney; we have great pride in our borough, our communities, and our services. Hackney is one of London’s most vibrant and diverse boroughs. It’s one of the most sought-after areas to live in London with good schools, parks and local amenities.

Hackney Council is undertaking an ambitious programme of regeneration across a number of housing estates and sites across the borough. We aim to transform places by building new neighbourhoods with well-designed housing, streets and public spaces. The programme is building more than 3,000 new homes over the next 10 years and will deliver new council rented, shared ownership and outright sale homes across Hackney.

The Council’s Housing Regeneration and Delivery teams are leading the delivery of these homes at all stages – starting with setting the briefs for sites, selecting architects and the wider design teams, managing the design process and procuring contractors and developer partners. We have won a number of prestigious awards for our housing schemes, including the RIBA Neave Brown Award for Housing 2024 and Overall, Winner at the NLA Awards 2024.

We are looking for a talented and collaborative Document Controller. This is an exciting opportunity for someone wanting to learn the role and develop as a Document Controller. The role will play an integral part in the Regeneration Strategic Design Team and through cross-project working will support the strategic and effective management, development and delivery of all the new build housing projects within the Housing Regeneration & Delivery service. You will work with the service’s Common Data Environment as the first point of contact to ensure the project information contained within it and the flow of that information is consistent and optimised. As well as working on multiple housing projects from inception to completion, you will be providing support to individual project teams in order to aid the smooth running and success of the projects.

You will have a genuine commitment to delivering exemplary housing development and regeneration schemes, as well as a proven track record in working collaboratively with project stakeholders. Previous experience of local government, ideally in a similar sector or in the private sector with some Autodesk BIM360 or similar is required. Alongside this, you will be organised, logical, numerate and have a strong attention to detail.
