• Monitoring contractor performance, quality, compliance, and health & safety standards
• Ensuring compliance with the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005 and current legislation
• Liaising with residents, consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders
• Monitoring budgets, variations, programme delivery, and value for money
• Supporting complaint resolution and maintaining high customer service standards
