Quality & Safety Compliance: Conduct pre- and post-void inspections to verify work quality, compliance (gas, electric, fire safety), and overall tenant safety.
Process Improvement: Identify operational efficiencies to reduce turnaround times (key-to-key) without compromising on safety or finish quality.
Cross-Site Travel: Work primarily from our
Bracknell hub, with periodic travel to regional offices and sites across
London, Eastleigh, Yeovil, Slough, and Langley.
About You
Experience: Strong background in social housing maintenance, void management, residential refurbishment, or construction supervision.
Project & People Management: Proven ability to manage multiple void projects simultaneously, schedule trades, and coordinate subcontractor workflows effectively.

Community Driven: A genuine passion for improving housing standards, supporting resident wellbeing, and creating quality homes for local communities.
