My client is one of the leading Property Maintenance and Social Housing Contractors in the country. They are an award-winning business with a great reputation, great staff retention rates, and excellent benefits.
They have a rare opportunity for an Operations Manager to run a long-term Repairs & Maintenance Contract for them in Wigan. This will largely include responsive maintenance, but there is also a small planned element (kitchens, bathrooms, etc.) and some void work.
The successful candidate will ideally come from a Social Housing Contractor/Provider background and have experience managing Repairs & Maintenance Contracts at a high level. Experience managing reactive or planned maintenance contracts will be considered.
Some duties will include:
1. Responsible for all regional delivery; building and maintaining an effective and motivated team.
2. Lead the division with an operational and commercial mindset, ensuring the team is aware of contract obligations and how they can influence profitability.
3. Ensure that all projects are set up with company governance maximized, production control in place, and productivity regularly monitored.
4. Work and develop relationships with all key clients to ensure each contract runs in accordance with the brief and the clients' high expectations.
5. Attend all client progress meetings, providing feedback, progress, and KPI data as requested.
6. Procure work by maintaining and developing contacts in the industry, with direct involvement in the strategic thinking applied to the Unit's tenders.
7. Work with all key supply chain partners, ensuring all Operating Framework compliance details are in place before commencement of any projects.
8. Monitor and approve the financial forecasts, ensuring the best cost planning information is provided.
9. Drive compliance and operating excellence throughout the division at all levels.
The successful candidate will already be in an Operations Manager position and have a proven track record of managing maintenance teams, with experience of managing contracts from pre-construction through to handover.
The company is looking for a motivated leader who can influence and drive teams forward in the right direction - someone who is a strategic thinker with a bigger picture in mind.
