Programme Delivery Manager

We’re looking for a driven and proactive Programme Delivery Manager to join our Asset Management team at PA Housing. This is an exciting opportunity to lead the delivery of planned investment and major works programmes across our homes, ensuring projects are completed safely, efficiently, and with residents at the heart of every decision. You’ll work closely with contractors, consultants, residents, and internal teams to deliver high-quality improvements that enhance homes and communities. If you enjoy managing projects, leading relationships, and driving continuous improvement, we’d love to hear from you.

Benefits:

• Health cash plans
• 26 days’ annual leave, increasing to 29 after three years, with the opportunity to buy more
• Flexible bank holidays – take them when it suits you
• Car leasing scheme
• Hybrid working – offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately two to three days per week in the office once settled in the role. This is flexible and depends on meeting cycles and board activity. We also offer an optional nine-day fortnight scheme, allowing you to compress your hours if it suits the role.

• Monitor budgets, cost plans, and financial performance to ensure value for money
• Resolve issues quickly and proactively, keeping projects moving and residents informed
• Support continuous improvement by identifying smarter and more efficient ways of working
• Promote health and safety compliance across all projects and site activities
• Lead with a positive, collaborative approach that supports team success and high performance

What we’re looking for:

• Have experience delivering planned works, stock improvement, or major works programmes within housing or residential property
• Have experience managing contractors and long‑term maintenance contracts
• Understand pre‑ and post‑contract project management processes
• Are confident managing budgets, cost plans, and financial performance
• Have strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Are organised, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple projects at once
• Can build positive relationships with residents and always keep customer experience in mind
