3. Deliver lift modernisation and refurbishment programmes, applying project and contract management skills from the development stage to delivery and final handover.

Qualifications and Experience
You need to have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Lift Industry, including the relevant regulations, guidelines, and legislation, as well as practical experience delivering lift maintenance programmes and dealing with day-to-day lift repairs. Carrying out lift inspections from time to time is also required.
Experience and knowledge in procuring lift contracts is desirable but not essential. However, you should have an understanding of the impact of the new regulations, such as the Building Safety Act, on the delivery of the lift service 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.
Communication Skills
You will be required to inform, advise, and respond to residents, both as a group and on an individual basis, as well as liaise and negotiate with interested parties such as contractors, developers, or professionals from other multidisciplinary areas. It is essential that you have good communication skills, both verbally and in writing, and can use the correct professional language when addressing different types of key stakeholders.
You must also have a good knowledge and understanding of creating and using spreadsheets to aid the delivery of lift programmes, budgets, and for monitoring purposes. It would be desirable for you to be able to use Google accounts, though not essential, as you will be taught how to use 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.
