- Updating and maintaining accurate housing asset data to support future investment planning
- Working closely with residents, internal teams, and external partners to share insights and improve services
- Contributing to the continuous improvement of our stock condition strategy

- A relevant qualification (HNC or equivalent) in construction, housing, or property
- Solid understanding of building construction, defects, and component lifecycles
- Knowledge of Decent Homes Standard and HHSRS
- Proven ability to manage your own workload and meet demanding targets
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage positively with customers and stakeholders
