Home based with travel as required
Full Time/Fixed term contract
Closing Date: 21 April 2026
Are you passionate about delivering high-quality refurbishment schemes and making a real difference by creating a customer‑first housing experience?
We’re looking for a talented Project Manager to join our External Delivery team on a 12‑month fixed‑term contract, covering a team member on internal secondment, with the potential to extend should the secondment become permanent.
As a key member of the team, you’ll support the delivery of capital investment projects and major refurbishments, coordinating a range of complex maintenance works across specialist schemes and high‑rise buildings that make a real difference to customers’ homes.
You’ll take ownership of managing and monitoring project progress within set timelines, inspecting work in progress to ensure quality standards and contract compliance. You will instruct consultants and produce/review contract documentation, such as project drawings, employer requirements, pre‑construction H&S information, and specifications, ensuring they meet relevant standards.
You’ll arrange and attend resident consultation events, keeping communities informed about upcoming works and actively gathering feedback to help improve our services. You’ll also carry out fire compartmentation checks and fire risk assessments, ensuring any remedial actions are identified and addressed promptly.

- Experience of managing Contractors with a CDM environment and of monitoring and controlling budgets to ensure value for money for the organisation
- Experience of communicating with a wide range of people
- Ability to travel across the Group’s geographical area as required (at least once per week)
Although this role is home‑based, you will be required to travel to offices for meetings and visit sites to perform quality and progress inspections, as well as conduct contractor progress meetings. You may also attend customer consultation meetings, which may occasionally take place in the evening outside regular working hours.
Some of the great benefits we can offer you:
- Up to 28 days annual leave (plus bank holidays) with the opportunity to buy and sell leave
- Family friendly policies and Learning and Development opportunities
- Medicash membership for all employees which includes access to an employee assistance programme, discounted gym membership and exclusive discounts
