Reporting into the Director of Housing Operations (Property), this role will involve managing a team of project and procurement managers and will focus on scoping, packaging, procuring and preparing large scale component replacement work to occupied council housing stock. The Council has 9,000 council homes and has a programme budget this year of £51m. Much of the programme is yet to get to site, so we are looking for someone to focus on all the elements of pre-construction, so that the work can be ordered and passed to the delivery team to project manage on site. As well as getting this year’s programme to site as quickly as possible, the pre-construction team will be responsible for working with the asset data team to scope and plan the programme for the next 2-3 years. The work is a mixture of individual component replacement packages and more holistic projects that combine a number of different elements. The experience you will bring: * Full membership of the RICS * Previous experience of managing a team * Excellent knowledge of construction, pre-construction and procurement * Experience of working in the public sector * Able to be in the office in 4 days a week...
