Asset Delivery Manager

Axion Consultancy Ltd is a specialist fire safety consultancy within the Riskhub Group, delivering fire engineering strategies, fire risk assessments, compliance inspections, and digital compliance management solutions to housing associations, local authorities, and building stock managers across the UK. Together, the two business units provide an end-to-end fire safety offering — from design-stage fire engineering through to ongoing occupancy compliance — supported by the Riskhub SaaS platform.

This is a commercially driven, client-facing environment where sector knowledge, strong relationships, and a proactive approach to business growth are essential.

Axion delivers a large, recurring fire door inspection programme for housing clients across the UK, carried out by a team of field-based fire door inspectors. The Asset Delivery Manager makes sure that programme is delivered on time and to the required quality standard.

Unusually, this role owns both the plan and its execution. You will build the quarterly Programme of Works, issue it to clients, allocate inspectors to buildings, and then track delivery against it, re-planning as access problems, capacity changes and additional work affect the quarter. You will know exactly where every building stands on any given day, and upscale risk early, long before it becomes a client-facing failure.

The programme is planned and tracked through our Admin Portal and the Riskhub platform, with inspection figures drawn from Quick Sight and client and query records held in Hub Spot. You will manage it from that data rather than from memory. The role sits in the Delivery function, reporting to the Head of Delivery, as the asset-side counterpart to the fire risk assessment Delivery Manager.

Quarterly Programme of Works

• Owning the quarterly Programme of Works for fire door inspections, and issuing each client their programme at least 15 days before the new quarter starts.
• Opening each planning cycle by confirming inspector availability and leave for the coming three months.
• Creating quarterly schedules in the Admin Portal and using Quick Sight inspection data, refreshed weekly, to establish how many doors are due.
• Checking all allocations before the programme is issued, including where planning tools have helped build the schedules.
• Preparing inspector work lists ahead of the quarter, keeping at least four weeks of work in advance to absorb change.

Allocation and workload balancing

• Allocating inspectors to the right buildings and organising them into weekly schedules, taking account of availability, geography and building type.
• Keeping the same inspector on the same buildings, in the same week, as the previous quarter wherever possible.
• Balancing workloads against a working guide of 650 to 700 doors per inspector per full week, adjusting for building type, asset count and travel.
• Splitting larger programmes across quarters while maintaining six-monthly inspection intervals and keeping buildings in their recurring quarters.
• Reviewing capacity and redistributing work where additional buildings or higher door counts increase the workload.
• Proactively chasing inspectors so that inspections and reports are completed within KPI targets.
• Identifying at-risk buildings and escalating where an inspector is unlikely to meet a deadline.
• Maintaining the inspection calendar and updating inspector work lists as the quarter changes.
• Managing outstanding work carried into the following quarter, and confirming whether additional capacity is needed.

Access, disruption and revisits

• Arranging access with clients where keys, fobs or access codes are missing or incorrect, and booking revisits.
• Managing appointment-based access for sheltered and supported buildings,…
