Job Details

Position: Head of External Contracts
Location: Midlands
Salary: £62,414
Duration: Permanent

People matter to Platform – Greenacre is delighted to be working with PHG to identify an experienced property services professional, who has the passion and drive to manage the external works programme for the organisation.

On the face of it, this looks like your standard External/Investment works Head of Service.  You’ll be ensuring that all external partners/contractors deliver all responsive, planned and cyclical maintenance across the portfolio. 

However, its much more than that. 

You’ll be looking for ways to join up the full property life cycle- like analysing and identifying where repairs issues should start to be plugged into the planned programme for instance.  You’ll also have input into some of the other exciting investment works that the organization will be driving including fire safety works and decarbonization works.

THE ORGANISATION

Platform Housing Group owns and manages 45,000 homes across the Midlands, with a portfolio that includes social and affordable rent and shared ownership houses. The group has G1 governance and V1 financial viability ratings from the Regulator of Social Housing and was the seventh largest housing association builder completing 1,448 new homes in 2019/20 at an investment of £258m. We are committed to making a real and positive difference to the lives of local customers and the communities they live in.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Successfully deliver responsive, planned and cyclical maintenance activities through external partners/contractors.
  • Support, develop and implement appropriate business systems that ensure the timely delivery of maintenance activities in accordance with approved programmes and standards of performance.
  • Monitor and report on a full suite of KPIs and work closely with the contractors to ensure these are met and/or exceeded.
  • Work with the Group Procurement team in order to ensure outsourced services and programmes of work demonstrably deliver VFM for the Group.
  • Ensure risks associated with disrepair and insurance claims are managed and mitigated effectively
  • Working closely with the internal delivery service (PPC) to ensure opportunities for self-delivery are maximised

This role is an opportunity for a commercially driven individual who is able to nurture positive working relationships with the supply chain.  You will be fully committed to delivering a first class service to all customers.  Platform Housing Group has high ambitions based on strong values and is looking for people to join them to achieve these.

If you share this vision, we’d love to hear from you.
