Would you like to work in a team leading on the maintenance of our diverse range of our let residential, holidays and commercial property in Dorset. We’re looking for an individual who can bring their experience of building maintenance with a particular interest in historic buildings.

This is a supervisory role and you will not be “on the tools”. With a solid working history and practical understanding of property maintenance of listed and old buildings, you will be able to diagnose problems and find solutions across the wide and varied scope of work. Use of our property system is a key part of the role, monitoring repairs as they are reported and keeping information in the system up-to-date. It is therefore important that you are confident in the use of IT.

You’ll have a building surveying or housing association background, a facilities or maintenance manager or a clerk of works.

What it's like to work here:The management of our let property underpins our national rental income of £50m a year and is essential for the delivery of our land and property conservation work.

The portfolio in Purbeck and West Dorset includes 80 let residential properties, a number of commercial lets and 15 holiday cottages ranging from an Art Deco mansion in Weymouth to quintessential thatched cottages in Purbeck.

If you like variety, problem solving and delivering results in a supportive and flexible work environment then this post is for you.  We can provide you with lots of experience to help you on your career journey.

What you'll be doing:Reporting into the Senior Building Surveyor, you’ll be part of a team delivering high standards of maintenance and repair of our Let and Holiday Cottage portfolio of properties. You’ll liaise with internal Holidays colleagues, external contractors and tenants providing regular updates on repairs. You’ll be responsible for dealing with compliance tasks, reactive maintenance, planning and delivering programs of work. Working within a set budget, you’ll ensure all our resources are used in the most efficient way.
- Who we're looking forexperience of undertaking surveys and inspections, diagnosing building defects and specifying appropriate remedial works to traditional buildings, following best practice
- confident communicator who is able to adjust their approach to ensure we build and maintain positive relationships with our tenants.
- experience of delivering agreed work programs/projects within budget relating to building structures and services

- strong understanding of let buildings and structures regulations to ensure compliance and manage risk
- ability to manage and develop new and existing relationships with contractors

We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
