As lead surveyor – decarbonisation, you will lead the delivery of whole-house retrofit and energy-efficiency projects across our housing stock. These projects will be funded through major national programmes, such as:
The Warm Homes Social Housing Fund (WH:SHF)
Energy Company Obligation (ECO4)
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS)
Future net zero and decarbonisation initiatives
Alongside these funded programmes, you will also manage investments in technologies like insulation, ventilation, air source heat pumps, and solar PV. These are complex, multi-disciplinary projects that require close collaboration with contractors, internal teams, and funding partners.
You will also lead a team of retrofit professionals and hold full responsibility for quality, compliance, customer experience, and successful delivery. This includes making sure all works meet technical standards such as PAS 2035 and CDM 2015, while aligning with funding rules and Bromford’s broader investment goals.
This is a key leadership role, helping us reduce carbon emissions, tackle fuel poverty, and support the national move towards net zero. It’s about creating homes that customers are proud to live in and that enable them to thrive.
As this role involves regular travel across our operating areas — from Lichfield to Chipping Sodbury — a company car or cash allowance is provided. We also offer a hybrid working model, which includes time working from home, in our offices, and out on-site.
