About Us Housing in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Dedicated and compassionate professionals bring everything to their work. KATE'S PASSION FOR NUMBERS AND PEOPLE. Kate's an absolute wizard at managing housing asset data for our annual £50m capital programme. She began as a college leaver in finance and became a senior manager. Kate's analytical powers keep track of the condition of over 21,000 tenanted and leasehold homes - from roofs and windows to kitchens and bathrooms. She is committed to achieving the Decent Homes Standard for all tenants and a high standard for all leaseholders, and she understands the human stories behind the data. Kate's work ensures routine external and internal stock condition surveys pick up repairs and health & safety issues. By recognising patterns, she contributes to forward planning for large scale capital renewal works. The Role As Senior Capital Investment Manager you will strategically lead and take programme level accountability of the Westminster Major Works. The team delivers complex capital projects across Westminster's housing stock, aiming for homes that are safe, high quality and sustainable. You will set the delivery framework to ensure excellent project, quality and contract management, driving successful delivery of the Housing Asset Strategy objectives. You will lead a talented team of Capital Investment Managers and Clerks of Works, providing senior level insights to resolve complex issues. At programme level you will be the Council's voice for quality assurance, transparency and accountability, setting strategy for effective contract management. As the programme budget holder you will safeguard public funds through strong financial governance and controls, ensuring every decision meets the highest standards of affordability, feasibility, sustainability, compliance and value for money. You will oversee supplier performance, mobilise new procurements, and manage programme level risks and escalations-including legal processes, FOI requests, complaints and Member enquiries-to resolve issues quickly and professionally. You will lead several high priority projects yourself, combining strategic influence with hands on impact across London's most ambitious Housing Investment Programme. In addition you will partner with other Council departments to ensure objectives are aligned, serve as a senior voice on resident focused delivery, and foster transparent, inclusive engagement. Flexibility around travel is required, as you will attend resident meetings and site visits, sometimes outside working hours. About You (Continued) You will bring proven leadership of complex, multidisciplinary capital programmes across all RIBA stages, with a track record of delivering high impact housing investment and regeneration projects on time, on budget and to quality standards. You have deep practical construction knowledge and expert understanding of construction methods, sequencing and critical path management. You are able to analyse and reprogramme construction timelines, resolve delays, and assure on site quality. You have substantial experience managing and developing high performing teams of technical professionals, consultants and contractors, fostering a culture of accountability, excellence and continuous improvement. You are confident guiding others in contract management across JCT and NEC forms, ensuring strong performance, robust change control, compliance and dispute resolution. Collaboration is critical. You have worked effectively with residents, councillors, senior officers, statutory bodies, contractors and consultants to deliver shared outcomes in complex political and partnership environments. You lead meaningful resident engagement, embedding co design and ensuring diverse community needs are reflected. You translate housing strategy, compliance duties and emerging legislation-including the Building Safety Act, Net Zero and ESG requirements-into deliverable programmes.

In addition you will partner with other Council departments to ensure objectives are aligned, serve as a senior voice on resident focused delivery, and foster transparent, inclusive engagement.
