  • Clear progression opportunities as the contract grows
  • Supportive team with a strong reputation in the sector


What are they looking for?

  • Experience in social housing / planned maintenance / refurbishment
  • Strong commercial awareness and cost control skills
  • Comfortable managing subcontractors and valuations
  • Knowledge of NHF Schedule of Rates
  • Someone who can hit the ground running but also grow with the business
