Orbit has a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded Technical Manager to manage the Technical function and report on all technical, engineering and architectural aspects of the business from land acquisition through to site completions and final adoptions across our South East region.  

This is a truly exciting time to join Orbit as they are currently transforming their Property Investment teams located in the Midlands, Southern and Eastern regions.

They have an ambitious programme with the view to deliver excellent customer service, deliver more homes, invest in existing stock and make Orbit a great place to work. To achieve these goals, Orbit has created a new operating model for the Property Investment teams and as a result of this there are a number of excellent job opportunities available.

Job Description:
As part of the technical team, you will lead a regional department consisting of a Technical Coordinator.  Working alongside the Head of Technical, Regional Commercial and Technical Manager, you will continuously improve technical processes and procedures, product, standard house types and specifications.  You’ll have the opportunity to deliver the technical aspects of housing developments from the land stage through to site completion.

You’ll understand the relevant working knowledge of planning and building regulations involved, including NHBC, Highway Authority and Utility design requirements. You’ll possess excellent communication and the relationship management skills necessary to develop and maintain effective partnerships at a senior level internally and externally to the organisation.
