Here at Wates, we have an exciting opportunity for a Repairs Supervisor to join our Responsive Maintenance team in the South Derbyshire area on a permanent basis, managing our day-to-day repairs. As the supervisor, you will be leading from the front, overseeing quality control, and working closely with operatives in accordance with Health and Safety standards. This role involves a mix of site visits and office work, so a clean driving license is essential to facilitate travel.
Key Accountabilities will include:
1. Working closely with the team and allocating work daily.
2. Attending pre-inspection works and advising operatives on job specifics.
3. Conducting post-inspection works and inspecting operatives' workmanship.
4. Ensuring large multi-trade jobs are booked by the scheduling team, checked for required trades and timeframes, and determining if pre-inspections are needed.
5. Responding effectively to variation requests highlighted by operatives, adhering to client rules and procedures.
To be considered for this role, you must have a SSSTS qualification as a minimum (SMTS is preferred but not essential). Candidates should have experience in social housing, either in planned or reactive works, with trades experience in kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, or electrics. You will need to undergo a Basic Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check at offer stage. Applicants with criminal convictions will be assessed individually, and Wates does not discriminate based on criminal records. Additional pre-employment checks may be required.
