An opportunity has arisen to appoint an officer into the position of Electrical Manager who will be responsible for the delivery and management of Lift Servicing, Lift Breakdowns, Lift Renewal, and the replacement of Major Lift Components.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Manage the day-to-day delivery of a monthly Lift Service programme, lift breakdowns, and trappings.
2. Ensure that the contractor(s) adhere to the lift breakdown and trappings times as per the contract.
3. Deliver lift modernisation and refurbishment programmes, applying project and contract management skills from development to final handover.
4. Monitor contractor’s KPI performance and ensure that all lift works are carried out to a high standard and meet the expectations of the council, leadership team, and residents.
5. Lead and conduct meetings with internal and external stakeholders, providing updates and communication suited to the audience.
6. Monitor budgets, forecast future spending, and control overspends for both lift repairs and lift modernisation/refurbishment programmes.
7. Manage staff in relation to work allocation, performance, and development.
8. Write reports, including notes from meetings and other documentation.
9. Work within a team and engage productively with colleagues.
10. Build positive relationships with contractors and consultants to deliver a healthy and positive lift service across the borough.
You need to have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Lift Industry, including relevant regulations, guidelines, and legislation, as well as practical experience delivering lift maintenance programmes and dealing with day-to-day lift repairs. Occasionally, you will carry out lift inspections.
Experience and knowledge in procuring lift contracts is desirable, but not essential. However, you should have an understanding of the impact of new regulations, such as the Building Safety Act, on the delivery of lift services now and in the future.
The candidate must have the relevant NVQ3 Lift & Escalator professional qualifications, including EOR/202 Basic Lift Safety and EOR/205N Basic Service Lift Safety qualifications, as well as a relevant project and/or contract management qualification.
You will be required to inform, advise, and respond to residents, both as a group and individually, as well as liaise and negotiate with interested parties, such as contractors, developers, or professionals from other multidisciplinary areas. Therefore, good communication skills, both verbal and written, are essential, along with the ability to use the correct professional language when addressing different types of key stakeholders.
You must also have a good knowledge and understanding of creating and utilizing spreadsheets to aid the delivery of lift programmes, budgets, and monitoring purposes. Familiarity with Google accounts is desirable, but you will be trained on this format.
We are a place-based organisation, and you will be required to work in the office; however, we do offer hybrid working, which may be locally agreed by your line manager.
As a Council, our most outstanding asset is our staff, who are highly dedicated to serving our residents and committed to our goals as an organisation.
