Do you want to lead complex programmes that make a real difference to people's homes and communities? Join us as an Asset Project Manager, where you'll take ownership of high-value investment programmes and ensure projects are delivered efficiently, safely, and to the highest standards.

At Accent, our planned works programmes are about more than buildings - they're about delivering well-managed, value-driven projects that improve lives. In this role, you'll take a strategic, hands-on approach to project and contractor management, ensuring successful delivery across a diverse portfolio.

About the role:

• You’ll be responsible for managing a programme of planned maintenance and refurbishment projects from inception to completion, overseeing regional budgets of £5-6 million.
• Leading on project governance, you’ll coordinate multiple concurrent schemes, ensuring they remain on track, within budget, and aligned to programme objectives.
• A key part of your role will be managing contractor performance. Working with a network of external partners, you’ll set clear expectations, monitor delivery against KPIs, and take decisive action where projects fall behind - whether that’s reprogramming works, addressing performance issues, or mitigating risks to keep delivery on track.

About you:

• The essentials:
• Experience of construction management in planned maintenance/refurbishments.
• Experience managing external contractors.
• Knowledge of health & safety issues affecting properties.
• Excellent negotiation and contract management skills.
• Significant forecasting and budget management experience.
• IT skills relating to Project Management or Asset Management systems.
• The desirables:
• Previous experience in social housing.
• Ability to conduct stock condition/energy performance surveys.
• Report writing skills.

The successful applicant will be subject to pre-employment checks, such as DBS and social media screening, before an offer is confirmed.

Interviews:

We want your candidate experience to reflect who we are - a place to grow, a place to thrive, a place to be you.

• Stage 1: A Place to Connect - A call with the hiring manager. You’ll learn more about the role and team, and we’ll get to know you - your experience, goals, and what you bring.
• Stage 2: A Place to Show Your Strengths - A role-related assessment and behavioural and scenario-based interview focused on how you apply your knowledge to real-life situations. You'll be asked to complete a Congruity Questionnaire in advance.
