The City of Edinburgh Council is a progressive and innovative organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Edinburgh. We value our diverse workforce and are committed to fostering an inclusive atmosphere where creativity and excellence can flourish. If you are a skilled and passionate property expert eager to make a meaningful contribution to a vibrant city, we welcome your interest.

We are in search of a dedicated and seasoned professional to take on a crucial role in advancing Scotland's Capital City towards its goal of establishing a smaller, modern, more efficient, and carbon-neutral property portfolio. As the Senior Capital Works Manager, you will oversee the execution of asset management work planning across the Council's operational property assets, including educational institutions and service depots.

Leading a team of four, you will spearhead the evaluation of asset condition assessments to formulate a structured and prioritized works program aimed at enhancing property performance and longevity while minimizing Health & Safety hazards. Key responsibilities will encompass financial oversight and reporting of program expenditures, as well as ensuring compliance with appropriate procurement processes. In this capacity, you will provide an essential service that guarantees value and ensures the Council's estate remains a secure environment for work and learning.

You will also contribute to the Council's broader strategic property planning initiatives, including supporting the implementation of the Corporate Property Strategy. The Council is a leader in low-carbon building design and retrofitting, and you will play a pivotal role in advancing the energy retrofit agenda, facilitating the wider decarbonization of the Council's property portfolio.

Situated within the Strategic Asset Planning division, the post holder will collaborate closely with colleagues from various disciplines within the built environment, including facilities management and design teams, while also engaging with other Council services.

We are committed to cultivating a workplace culture where all individuals feel valued, included, and empowered to perform at their best. We recognize the advantages that a diverse workforce with varying values, beliefs, experiences, and backgrounds brings to our organization.

In our efforts to enhance our organizational culture and create an exceptional work environment for the residents of Edinburgh, we are focused on attracting the most suitable candidates not only based on their skills and experience but also on their work approach.

To facilitate this, we are transitioning from a competency-based interview methodology to a behavioral and technical skills-based approach. This new interviewing process will enable us to evaluate your thought processes and how you embody Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity, and Flexibility in your professional conduct.
