• This is a permanent full time role, 37 hours per week.
• Grade 10 - £34,834 - £39,186
• 30 days’ annual leave
• This role has a significant impact on improving and ensuring the safety of our tenant’s homes.

You’ll be managing a wide range of projects, making homes safe and enjoyable for our tenants (although let’s be honest – they tend to enjoy new kitchens and bathrooms a little more than electrical testing and re-roofing…).

There’s a lot of variety in the types of projects you’ll be managing. We’re talking:

• Replacement kitchens and bathrooms
• Re-roofing
• Replacement windows and doors
• Installation and updating of door entry systems
• Upgrading insulation and ventilation
• Major environmental improvement programmes
• Electrical testing and remedial works
• Fire safety works (e.g., fire doors, emergency lighting, and compartmentalisation)
• Water safety works

More importantly though, you’ll be given the freedom to do things your way.

Quality is important to us. And we’ll give you the time and support you need to do the best job possible.

However, you’ll be given full ownership of your projects from start to finish.

Whether it’s managing contractors, making sure a payment goes through on time, signing off the work that’s taking place or talking things over with a tenant, you’ll be the one bringing it all together.

Once you’re done, you’ll be able to look at a job well done and know that you made it happen. We think there’s a real sense of pride and satisfaction that comes with that.

Hopefully you do too.

This is a hybrid role with some flexibility around when and where you work – but as you can imagine, it will involve being on-site the majority of the time.

We offer ongoing support, training and guidance to help you be the best you can be.

The kind of projects listed above give a feel for the work you’ll be overseeing, however, we’re not expecting you to have experience in all those areas. You might even have relevant experience in an area that’s not on that list. That’s fine too.

The main thing is that you have project management experience in the construction sector.

Managing relationships with tenants is also a big part of this job. Customer service is just as important to us as getting the building work right. After all, it’s our tenants that we are doing all of this for. So, you’ll need to be comfortable with that side of things.

We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.

We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

• We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
• Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave.
• Staff discounts in gyms.
• Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
• Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
• A Flexible Benefits Scheme via salary sacrifice to obtain a cycle for work and health screenings.
• My Staff Shop offering discounts in shops, online shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets, insurance benefits and more...
