  • Review subcontractor claims, variations and commercial submissions.
  • Identify and resolve profit shortfalls and commercial performance risks.
  • Provide commercial reporting to clients, including PPP capped expenditure analysis.
  • Work collaboratively with operational teams to improve efficiency, cost control and margin.
  • Ensure contract compliance and maintain strong client relationships.

  • Proven experience working within a responsive repairs contracting environment, ideally within social housing.
  • Strong knowledge of Price Per Property (PPP) and/or NHF Schedule of Rates (SoR) commercial models.
  • Experience managing commercial performance within social housing maintenance contracts.
  • Experience managing subcontractor relationships and commercial negotiations.
  • Strong analytical and reporting capability, including advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, data analysis).
  • A commercially driven mindset with the ability to operate in a fast-paced, high-volume maintenance environment.
