Disrepair Supervisor

Location: West Midlands

Bring your people leadership and case‑management skills to our growing WPS business in the West Midlands.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the Disrepair operation — optimise resources, apply robust processes and meet contract KPIs and client standards.
  • Manage the caseload — ensure work orders progress within target dates; confirm multi‑trade requirements, timeframes and pre‑inspections.
  • Guide people & partners — support administrators, operatives and subcontractors to achieve targets and deliver consistently.
  • Champion quality & customer care — deliver pre‑ and post‑repair inspections, routine quality checks and proactive communication.
  • Report & drive improvement — produce weekly updates on completed and outstanding jobs; investigate issues and follow through to resolution.
  • Partner with the client — support performance reports and attend regular review meetings.
  • Handle variations & complaints — manage variation requests in line with client procedures and help resolve customer, client and staff queries.
  • Lead on safety — uphold H&S within our Operating Framework; ensure PPE, vehicles, livery and ID standards are maintained.
  • Support commercials — monitor operating costs and productivity metrics, collaborating closely with commercial colleagues.

What You'll Bring

  • Experience supervising within repairs & maintenance, ideally with direct disrepair responsibility.
  • Strong leadership of teams and supply chain partners, with clear, confident communication.
  • Demonstrable success in achieving KPI performance and driving quality.
  • Excellent planning/scheduling capability and a calm, problem‑solving approach.
  • Solid understanding of health & safety and stakeholder engagement.

Why join us

  • Be part of a growing West Midlands operation with real influence over how we deliver disrepair services.
  • Supportive team culture with regular development, feedback and progression opportunities.
  • Work that genuinely improves the lives of residents and communities.
