- ** Stakeholder Collaboration**: Build strong relationships with key teams across Paradigm, including Health & Safety, Customer Services, and Development, as well as external bodies such as local authorities and contractors, to meet operational and strategic targets.
- ** Performance & Data Management**: Oversee asset data accuracy, manage KPIs for property performance, implement a five-year stock condition programme and oversee the design of our Decarbonisation Programme. Your insights will be vital in supporting effective decision-making and continuous improvement.
- ** Customer and Community Focus**: Lead the surveying team in providing efficient, customer-centred service. Respond to complaints professionally and engage with resident groups to maintain high satisfaction levels.

- A **degree in Building Surveying** or equivalent qualification (MRICS preferred) and at least **5-10 years of relevant experience**.
- A **strong grasp of social housing**, asset management, and property maintenance best practices.
- Extensive knowledge of **building regulations and safety requirements**, including CDM and Party Wall legislation.
