About Us
Meadfleet are a land-owning quality Open Space Management Company with a growing diverse portfolio of over 320 housing developments throughout England and Wales.
Our open spaces include a variety of features such as extensive soft landscaping, play areas, roadways, street lighting and drainage.
We manage a wide variety of habitat types and have an ever-increasing desire to improve the ecological value on our developments.
Our simple principle is to deliver effective, high quality land management that sustains and adds value for the long-term benefit of the environment, the development, and its residents.
Our sustainable approach to land management means we aim to improve biodiversity on open spaces in our care, working to enhance and create additional habitats whilst engaging residents in the journey. Via initiatives such as our Award-Winning Bee Friendly Campaign, we have enhanced and created 1000s of square metres of habitats.
The Role
The Contract Manager will oversee the management and sub-contracted maintenance of public open spaces on allocated developments throughout between Aylesbury, Banbury, Burton upon Trent, Leicester and Kettering.
This is an ideal step up from an experienced Grounds Maintenance Operative/Supervisor looking to take a managerial position off the tools, or an experienced Contract Manager with a keen eye on horticulture.
Key Tasks
* Liaising with sub-contractors daily and ensuring conformity with their contract.
* Conducting regular development inspections and reporting on our bespoke inspection app (tablet based) ensuring quality and Health and Safety requirements are met.
* Building and maintaining strong relationships with your sub-contractors including educating and enhancing their skills.
* Producing monthly reports to the Operations Manager for your region.
* Inspecting playground equipment (training provided) and arranging necessary repairs.
* Liaising with residents and responding to their queries delivering excellent customer service.
* Following Meadfleet best practice guidelines.
* Be self-motivated and identify opportunities for amenity and biodiversity improvements.
This position requires a satisfactory basic DBS check and driving licence check.
If you've previously thrived as a Grounds Maintenance Supervisor, Landscape Contracts Manager, Soft-Landscaping Supervisor, Estates or Parks Manager, Green-Spaces Team Leader, Arboriculture or Ecology Officer, Facilities Grounds Manager or similar, then we want to hear from you.
