Job Description
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, high 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:
* Responsible for all regional delivery; building and maintaining an effective and motivated team.
* Lead the division with an operational and commercial mindset, ensuring the team is aware of contract obligations and how they can influence profitability.
* Ensure that all projects are set up with company governance maximized, production control in place, and productivity regularly monitored.
* Work and develop relationships with all key clients to allow each contract to run in accordance with the brief and the clients' high expectations.
* Attend all client progress meetings, providing feedback, progress, and all KPI data as requested.
* Procure work by maintaining and developing contacts in the industry, along with direct involvement in the strategic thinking applied to the Unit's tenders.
* Work with all key supply chain partners, ensuring all Operating Framework compliance details are in place before the commencement of any projects.
* Monitor and approve the financial forecasts, ensuring that the best cost planning information is provided.
* 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, along 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.
