Now is an exciting time to be in Basildon, with huge investment taking place in both our town centres and housing estates. We’ve developed and implemented a market leading strategic asset management contract that has won awards and received national recognition. This coupled with an ambitious HRA house build programme means Basildon Council is well positioned for the future.

You will be required to ensure systems are in place to support the management of land and property as a key resource and capture, record, update and manage all information underpinning property-related activities.
Able to constructively challenge the status-quo planning strategies and programmes for the Council’s capital assets and resources, you will balance service needs with the requirement to realise receipts, innovate and transform service delivery. You will also be responsible for the preparation and sign-off of the Council’s Asset Management Plan ensuring that strategic discussions take place within and between each department and amongst elected members supporting and providing innovative ideas and partnership working.
The successful applicant will be able to find deliverable and innovative solutions that focus the capital and property programmes, turning them into realistic and achievable outcomes.
