An opportunity has arisen to appoint an officer into the position of Electrical Manager who will be responsible for the delivery and management of Lift Servicing, Lift Breakdowns, Lift Renewal, and the replacement of Major Lift Components.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Manage the day-to-day delivery of a monthly Lift Service programme, lift breakdowns, and trappings.
2. Ensure that the contractor(s) adhere to the lift breakdown and trappings times as per the contract.
3. Deliver lift modernisation and refurbishment programme, applying project and contract management skills from development stage to delivery of the works and final handover.
4. Monitor contractor’s KPI performance and ensure that all lift works are carried out to a high standard and to the expectations of the council, leadership team, and residents.
5. Lead and conduct meetings with internal and external stakeholders, providing updates and processes in appropriate communication types.
6. Monitor budgets, including forecasting future spend and controlling overspends for both lift repairs and lift modernisation/refurbishment programmes.
7. Manage staff in relation to work allocation, performance, and development.
8. Write reports such as notes from meetings and other relevant documentation.
9. Work within a team and engage productively with colleagues.
10. Build positive relationships with contractors and consultants to deliver a healthy and positive lift service across the borough.
You need to have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Lift Industry, including the relevant regulations, guidelines, and legislation, as well as practical experience delivering Lift maintenance programmes and dealing with day-to-day lift repairs. You should also be able to carry out lift inspections as required.
Having some experience and knowledge in procuring lift contracts is desirable; however, you should have an understanding of the impact of the new regulations, such as the Building Safety Act, on the delivery of the lift service now and in the future.
The candidate must have the relevant NVQ3 Lift & Escalator professional qualifications, including EOR/202 Basic Lift Safety and EOR/205N Basic Service Lift Safety qualifications, as well as a relevant project and/or contract management qualification.
You will be required to inform, advise, and respond to residents, both as a group and on an individual basis. You will also need to liaise and negotiate with interested parties, such as contractors, developers, or professionals from other multidisciplinary areas. Therefore, it is essential that you possess good communication skills, both verbal and written, and can use the correct professional language when addressing different types of key stakeholders.
You must have a good knowledge and understanding of creating and using spreadsheets to aid the delivery of lift programmes, budgets, and monitoring purposes. While it would be desirable for you to be able to use Google accounts, it is not essential, as you will be taught how to use this format.
We are a place-based organisation, and you will be required to work in the office; however, we do offer hybrid working, which may be locally agreed by your line manager.
