We are also a social landlord, providing housing management to our own residents living in nearly 1,000 properties.

Well organised and highly productive, candidates will have experience producing technical reports, appraisals, measurements, costings and estimates, you will have a strong sense of ownership and responsibility for your work and commitment to collaborative working with colleagues, suppliers and residents.

Our company values are building trust by being reliable, working as one team, acting with purpose, caring about the impact we have on people and always showing kindness. These values drive everything we do, and we expect the same from you – meaning you will need to consistently meet expectations.

In return, we offer a contributory pension scheme, 28 days holiday + bank holidays, health cash plan, an employee perk system and up to a 10% annual bonus.
