Head of Maintenance and Operations
Stockport Homes is an innovative, modern arms length housing organisation (ALMO), created in October 2005 employing over 340 staff and managing 11,500 properties across the borough of Stockport.
Following the achievement of our 3 star ‘excellent’ rating, we are half way through a successful £100+ million investment programme delivered mainly through the GM Procure consortium. We have recently been cited by the Audit Commission as the most improved ALMO in the country from 2006 - 2008 and plan to start on site with the first new build scheme for any ALMO nationally. You can see we mean business, so if you fancy a challenge and want to excel, come and join us!
We are looking to appoint a highly ambitious and self- motivated maintenance professional who can make a real contribution to achieving our vision. A key challenge will be to procure a new £40 million cutting edge repairs service incorporating high standards and the latest in service delivery techniques and ICT developments incorporating collaborative working with contractors.
We need someone exceptional who understands the business and is able to manage performance, strategic development plans and strategies for growth into new areas of income for our in-house contractor.
You will have a proven track record of leading construction services from any sector and with excellent business organisational skills you will motivate our already high performing team.
Closing date: Friday 28th November 2008
Interview date: Friday 12th December 2008
We offer attractive conditions of service and a range of employee benefits including a commitment to personal development, final salary occupational pension scheme and a subsidised car lease scheme.
