Job Description

We are really excited by our future and we're on a journey to transform our resident experience and deliver a new approach to asset management and resident engagement. This role is crucial to our mission and you'll have a fantastic opportunity to drive real improvements for our residents.

We're looking for an enthusiastic Contract Manager to join Team Railway to play a key role in the delivery of planned maintenance and compliance works across our homes. You'll be responsible for specifying, monitoring and managing capital works programmes, including component replacement of kitchens, bathrooms, heating systems, windows, doors, roofing and other component replacements. In addition, you'll lead the delivery of compliance-related upgrades and improvement projects, with a particular focus on fire safety. You'll make sure that all of our planned maintenance and improvements works meet all legislative and regulatory requirements.

You will have a fantastic opportunity to work to maintain historic homes originally designed and built to provide shelter for railway workers returning from the First World War. Whilst our first purpose-built homes were built in the early 1920s, some of our buildings date back to the mid-1800s and have been transformed from their previous lives as working railway buildings into modern homes. You'll be entrusted with the privilege of preserving and maintaining their legacy whilst ensuring that we meet resident expectations for contemporary living.

You'll be based at our office in Westpark Village, Darlington along with some home working and regular travel across our operating area. You'll be working with us for 35 hours a week and we're flexible to make sure we can provide the best service to our residents.

If you're interested in joining our team and our mission to deliver exceptional services to residents, please send in your CV and a covering letter letting us know why you're interested in joining us to
