About the role:
As a void supervisor working alongside our client Lewes District Council (Homes First), your role involves a variety of detailed tasks to ensure the efficient management and completion of works on void properties. You will start by liaising with client surveyors to survey these properties, gaining a thorough understanding of the necessary works to be carried out.

Once the survey is complete, you will create a comprehensive list of works using the Maintenance and Construction Management (MCM) system. This list will outline all tasks required, from minor repairs to major refurbishments. You will then oversee the entire process from start to finish, coordinating with both direct workers and subcontractors to ensure that all tasks are completed to a high standard.
Throughout the project, you will conduct regular inspections to monitor progress and quality. Upon completion, you will inspect the finished job with the client, addressing any concerns and making necessary adjustments before finalizing the work. This step is crucial to ensure client satisfaction and to meet all contractual obligations.
After the client is satisfied with the work, you will complete the invoicing process, ensuring all costs are accurately recorded and billed. Additionally, you will be responsible for conducting regular vehicle checks to ensure all vehicles are in good working condition and comply with safety standards.
Health and safety are paramount, so you will perform regular health and safety visits to ensure all operatives are working in a safe environment and adhering to regulations. Managing the operatives via Workday, you will ensure efficient workflow, task allocation, and completion, addressing any issues that arise promptly.
