Join our Property Investments & Operations (PI&O) service and play a key role in supporting the effective management of the council’s General Fund (GF) estate. This includes contributing to the delivery, performance and continuous improvement of maintenance, capital works, compliance and facilities services across a diverse portfolio including Hubs, Depots, Schools, Leisure Centres and Libraries.
As a Technical Lead, you will support the oversight and improvement of service delivery across the operational estate. You will assess performance, review asset and contract outputs, and identify opportunities to enhance systems, processes and procedures. Working closely with Asset Portfolio Managers, FM Delivery Managers and operational teams, you will help ensure that buildings remain safe, compliant and fit for purpose, supporting the council’s statutory responsibilities.
You will undertake analysis, develop evidence-based recommendations and support the delivery of projects and service improvements across areas such as building maintenance, compliance and facilities management. This includes contributing to business cases, performance reporting and the implementation of new approaches to improve service efficiency and risk management.
We are looking for a candidate with relevant experience in property, facilities management or building services, with strong knowledge of compliance, health & safety and asset management principles. You will demonstrate the ability to deliver projects, analyse complex issues, influence stakeholders and drive service improvements, with excellent communication, organisational and relationship management skills.
Why us? Wiltshire Council is a friendly, welcoming place to work, with a 'One Council' ethos. Our hybrid working model means office staff are on site for at least half their hours, community-based staff carry out at least half their admin time in a workplace, and customer-facing roles work entirely from their service location. We are committed to creating a workplace where positive relationships thrive and everyone feels engaged, supported and able to do their best. We do not tolerate discrimination, bullying or harassment. Everyone is expected to promote a culture of inclusion, dignity, trust and respect, guided by our vision and Our Identity.
