We believe everyone should have a safe and affordable place to call home. We’re on a journey of transformation, finding new ways to support our customers - and our people. If you’re looking for a career where you can learn new skills, try new things and shape your future, there’s a place for you at Accent.
Do you want to lead complex programmes that make a real difference to people’s homes and communities? Join us as an Asset Project Manager, where you’ll take ownership of high-value investment programmes and ensure projects are delivered efficiently, safely, and to the highest standards.
At Accent, our planned works programmes are about more than buildings – they’re about delivering well-managed, value-driven projects that improve lives. In this role, you’ll take a strategic, hands-on approach to project and contractor management, ensuring successful delivery across a diverse portfolio.
Role & Responsibilities
You’ll be responsible for managing a programme of planned maintenance and refurbishment projects from inception to completion, overseeing regional budgets of £5-6 million. Leading on project governance, you’ll coordinate multiple concurrent schemes, ensuring they remain on track, within budget, and aligned to programme objectives.
A key part of your role will be managing contractor performance. Working with a network of external partners, you’ll set clear expectations, monitor delivery against KPIs, and take decisive action where projects fall behind – whether that’s reprogramming works, addressing performance issues, or mitigating risks to keep delivery on track.
Your ability to balance technical delivery with customer engagement will be key. You’ll inspect works before, during, and after completion, manage risks, uphold health and safety standards, and communicate clearly with residents and stakeholders throughout the journey.

If you’re still developing some of the skills or experience, you can start at a salary 5% or 10% below the spot rate, with clear support and progression opportunities to reach the full amount. You’ll also receive a car allowance starting at £1,250 per annum.
