Asset Management Officer in Dudley

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking an Asset Management Officer. This role will cover the whole of the Dudley Borough, approximately 15 miles wide from the centre. The position allows for combined office and home working, but primarily as a stock surveyor, you will be on site most of the time.

What can you expect? Your day as an Asset Management Officer might begin with a detailed inspection of a residential property, carefully assessing its condition and identifying any necessary repairs. Later, you could be working alongside your team to upload and analyse survey data, providing crucial insights that inform our maintenance programmes. You might also meet with an external contractor to discuss compliance with the latest construction standards, before heading to another site for a tenant’s request to carry out works. You’ll play a vital role in maintaining and enhancing the quality of Dudley’s housing stock. Each day will bring a new set of responsibilities, whether you’re managing comprehensive surveys, working with external agencies, or addressing residents’ concerns about their homes. Your expertise ensures that our properties meet and exceed customer expectations while staying compliant with all regulatory requirements.

You’re someone who excels in detail-oriented tasks, with a strong commitment to ensuring that every property is safe, well-maintained, and compliant with industry standards. You’ll collaborate closely with various teams, using your technical knowledge to guide decision-making and effectively address any issues that arise. Your strong relationship-building and communication skills will be essential in this role.

• Conduct detailed surveys and assessments.
• Advise on property conditions.
• Contribute to the planning of future maintenance works.

A full driving licence and access to your own vehicle will be necessary as travelling around the borough is a requirement of the post.

• Full driving licence.
• Own vehicle.
• Ability to provide documentation proving right to work in the UK.

All applicants must be able to provide documentation to prove their right to work in the UK. Please note: Dudley MBC does not currently offer sponsorship for candidates without the Right to Work in the UK.
