Sector: Social Housing - Planned Maintenance 

The Opportunity

Are you a strategic leader with a deep pedigree in Social Housing Refurbishment? We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead our delivery teams on a high-volume Planned Works contract in Basildon.

Unlike New Build projects, this role is centered on existing housing stock, specifically managing the lifecycle of interior and exterior upgrades. You will be the driving force behind our regional hub, ensuring that complex "Decent Homes" style schemes are delivered at pace, within budget, and with a resident-first approach.

The Role

Joining a high-performing planned works division, you will take full ownership of the Basildon contract's operational and commercial success. Your focus will be on:

Program Delivery: Leading multi-disciplinary teams to deliver internal Kitchen & Bathroom (K&B) refurbs and comprehensive exterior fabric repairs.

Performance & KPI Management: Monitoring operational, commercial, and contractual KPIs to maximize productivity and service responsiveness.

Commercial Oversight: Managing resource requirements and basic budgets, utilizing Excel for data-led decision-making and reporting.

Compliance & Safety: Upholding gold-standard Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) management across all active sites.

Resident Engagement: Cultivating exceptional relationships with clients and tenants, ensuring quality assurance and positive feedback cycles.

About You

You are a resilient leader who understands the unique challenges of working in "live" social housing environments. You don't just manage tasks; you mentor and motivate your team to exceed delivery targets.

Requirements:

Sector Expertise: Proven experience in a similar Project Management role specifically within Social Housing Refurbishment (Decent Homes, Planned Maintenance).

Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of internal K&B programs and external refurbishment workflows.

Data Literacy: Proficient in Excel for budget tracking and operational reporting.

Leadership: A natural ability to support, mentor, and drive teams to deliver excellence under tight time constraints.

Qualifications:

NVQ Level 6 in Construction/Management (or equivalent extensive industry experience).

CSCS Black Card (Highly preferred, or actively working towards).
