A social housing provider near Manchester are on the lookout for an Asset Manager. My client are an organisation managing a varied housing portfolio and investing in long-term asset planning to ensure homes remain safe, compliant and fit for the future. The organisation is undergoing a restructure to strengthen its property/asset functions, with a focus on using stock condition insight and robust data to drive planned investment programmes and value for money.
About the role - This is an Asset Manager position within a small, specialist asset team. The role will work alongside a Property Condition Manager (overseeing internal surveyors delivering stock condition surveys and compliance-related assessments) and an Asset Data Manager (responsible for the asset system and data quality).

The post-holder will help develop a 30-year asset plan, including a detailed 5-year programme and an outline 10-year plan. It is suited to someone stepping up from surveying, planned works, projects or contract management into asset management—focused on programme creation, future-proofing decisions and translating data into deliverable investment plans rather than being a traditional senior “all-encompassing” asset lead.
