Not just another building society. Not just another job.
We're the fourth biggest building society in the UK and what makes us a bit different is that we're a mutual organisation. We don't have shareholders, we're owned by our members.
Our colleague say Skipton's a great place to work and you could be one of them, bringing with you new ideas on how we can keep customers at the heart of what we do.
Whatever your background, and whatever your goals, we'll help you take the next step towards a better future.
**Job Description**:
Here at Skipton Building Society we have an opportunity to join us as an Architectural Technologist or similarly qualified building professional. This is an rare and exciting opportunity to join a blue chip organisation with an enviable property portfolio. You’ll have the opportunity to help shape the design of our branches, work as part of a thriving team and use your wide experience to lead and support the delivery of work. This is a great opportunity for someone with client side experience or looking to work client side to really add value to the business.
Providing support to our Premises team - this is an initial 12month contract - which will be continually reviewed alongside the department workload.
The purpose of this role is to coordinate and manage the ongoing schedule of our workspace environments across our Head Office and Branch networks. You’ll do this by liaising with external consultants where necessary, working with stakeholders across the business and providing advice on property matters.
You will regularly review departmental workloads and agree priorities with various stakeholders from across the Society to meet business needs in agreed timescales.
You will have oversight and manage the budgets for Premises, ensuring value for money and capture cost savings where possible. You’ll have audit actions that will need reviewing and meeting in a timely manner with any findings and learnings cascaded to the appropriate colleagues. In addition, you’ll be expected to regularly review legislative changes and ensure all changes and processes meet any and all legal requirements.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join our team of fellow property professionals. You’ll have the opportunity to help shape GIA strategic initiatives, work as part of a thriving team and use agile techniques to lead and support the delivery of work. This is a great opportunity to get a full understanding of the Skipton Group and really add value to the business.
A full driving licence is required, and a pool car will be provided where needed for the role.
We are looking for someone with the ability to influence, engage and work in partnership with stakeholders at all levels so first-class people skills and strong communication is essential within the role.
We’re looking for a passionate person willing to take on ownership of all aspects of the role - which include concept design, managing small works with our trusted contractors as well as day to day duties ensuring our branches operate smoothly and efficiently. The tasks you’ll complete within the role will need you to have excellent negotiating skills in order to successfully deliver within plan and budget.
The right person for the role will have a breadth of knowledge in CAD, Building Regulations and Planning. Experience in job running and contract administration will also be beneficial. In addition, you will be a member of CIAT (Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists) or equal qualification with strong experience in a similar role in commercial property/facility management.
We care about our colleagues. So we treat each other like the complex and diverse individuals we are.
Work here is never one-size-fits-all, it flexes around your strengths and needs,
Everyone is held accountable for achieving our common purpose. The aim is for all of us to do better work, have a better life and enjoy a better balance between the two.
