Property Compliance Manager - Strategic Property Team This post is for a fixed period to cover a special Compliance Project to ensure the Council's property estate is fully compliant and any required remedials are completed which will enable the permanent Compliance Team to manage the estate effectively as business as usual once completed. This role is part of a specialist unit within the Facilities Management (FM) function but the project team will also be supported by two project specific Lawyers who will be responsible for reviewing all property agreements to identify where the Council holds responsibility for statutory compliance matters. The postholder's primary responsibility will be undertaking site inspections to ensure the Council is discharging its statutory compliance duties, identifying any areas where it is not and rectifying these with our third party contractors, as well as managing contractors to undertake any remedial action required, and then updating the compliance tracker accordingly. The postholder must have exceptional attention to detail, comprehensive knowledge of property related statutory compliance obligations, a suitable level of building pathology and M&E system knowledge to enable the postholder to identify what compliance works are required and relevant to each specific property, as well as project management skills to ensure contractors keep on top of work identified as being required. This post will form part of a specialist project team, and work in tandem with the Council's permanent Compliance Team who ensure the ongoing cyclical testing, documentation, and day to day operations are discharged. Please note that although the primary base for this role is the Council's main Civic Centre this position will require the postholder to spend significant time travelling to sites to undertake inspections across the Borough where public transport options are often limited.
