  • Monitor and supervise contractors to ensure works are delivered safely, on time, and to the required standard
  • Work collaboratively with residents, legal representatives, expert witnesses, and internal teams to manage risk and resolve cases effectively
  • Identify learning and service improvement opportunities to prevent repeat issues

Looking for strong experience in surveying, specifying, and supervising building works, including repairs, refurbishments, adaptations, and cyclical programmes with particular emphasis on roofing works, dealing with all varieties of roof construction and providing cost-effective, long-term solutions.

  • Excellent communication skills with the confidence to engage residents, contractors, and legal stakeholders
  • The ability to prepare clear technical reports and negotiate effectively
