Asset Management & Projects Manager
Salary: circa £57,000 per annum
Hours: 40 hours per week
Contract: Permanent
Location: Hybrid working with a strong Black Country focus
Shape a capital programme you can actually get your arms around
At Black Country Housing Group (BCHG), our homes are more than assets – they’re places where people feel safe, secure and proud to live. We’re now looking for an Asset Management & Projects Manager to play a pivotal role in shaping and assuring our long?term investment in high?quality, compliant homes across the Black Country.
This is a strategic, assurance?focused role with real influence. You’ll work with a manageable, well?understood stock, strong compliance foundations and a leadership team that genuinely values professional judgement and good asset intelligence.
Why BCHG?
Working at BCHG is different from working in a large, highly complex national provider. Here’s why many people choose us – and stay:
We own and manage around 2,200 homes, primarily across the Black Country and Birmingham, meaning our homes are geographically close, well known and easier to manage effectively
Our stock is generally of decent quality, with strong compliance and a clear commitment to building safety as our number one priority
You’ll have the opportunity to shape strategy and see decisions through, rather than getting lost in layers of governance
Our size means you’ll work closely with senior leaders, influence decisions directly and see the real impact of your work on residents
We are rooted in the Black Country – for the Black Country, by the Black Country – and proud of our social purpose
You’ll be joining us at an important time, as we deliver our BCHG 2030 strategy, with a strong focus on quality homes, sustainability, data?led decision making and long?term financial resilience.
About the role
As Asset Management & Projects Manager, you’ll be responsible for designing, maintaining and assuring BCHG’s capital investment and major works programmes.
Your role will include:
Leading the development and review of our capital investment programme, using stock condition, compliance and asset data to drive priorities
Ensuring our homes continue to meet the Decent Homes Standard, building safety requirements and wider property legislation
Translating new and emerging regulatory requirements into clear, practical investment plans and assurance reporting
Leading option appraisals, business cases and feasibility work to support sustainable, value?for?money investment decisions
Providing professional oversight of complex disrepair cases, including working with legal advisers where required
Acting as a trusted technical adviser to senior colleagues and supporting informed decision?making
Managing specialist staff and promoting a culture of accountability, empathy and high service standards
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys thinking strategically, working with data and assurance, and applying professional judgement rather than firefighting day?to?day repairs.
About you
We’re looking for someone who:
Has strong experience in asset management or capital investment planning within social housing or a similar regulated environment
Is confident working with stock condition and compliance data, turning insight into prioritised investment programmes
Has a sound understanding of building safety, decency and property legislation
Can assess risk, challenge appropriately and provide assurance to senior stakeholders
Is comfortable managing complex or high?risk property issues, including disrepair
Cares about resident experience and understands the importance of quality homes
You’ll be qualified to Level 5 (or equivalent) in a property?related discipline and willing to work towards relevant housing or professional qualifications where needed.
Our rewards
We offer a strong and thoughtful total reward package, including:
Competitive pay, externally benchmarked
Flexible pension scheme with up to 7% employer contribution
28 days annual leave, plus an extra day at Christmas
Option to buy or sell up to one week’s leave each year
Hybrid and agile working arrangements
Enhanced sick pay, maternity and paternity pay
Health cash plan and 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
Funded professional qualifications, membership fees and leadership development
Wellbeing days, volunteering time and a wide range of colleague recognition schemes
Ready to make an impact?
If you want to work for a housing provider where:
the stock is manageable,
the compliance position is strong,
your expertise is trusted,
and your work makes a visible difference,
we’d love to hear from you.
