If you’re looking for a career where you can learn new skills, try new things and shape your future, there’s a place for you at Accent.

Do you want to lead complex programmes that make a real difference to people’s homes and communities? Join us as an Asset Project Manager, where you’ll take ownership of high-value investment programmes and ensure projects are delivered efficiently, safely, and to the highest standards.

At Accent, our planned works programmes are about more than buildings – they’re about delivering well-managed, value-driven projects that improve lives. In this role, you’ll take a strategic, hands-on approach to project and contractor management, ensuring successful delivery across a diverse portfolio.

About the role

You’ll be responsible for managing a programme of planned maintenance and refurbishment projects from inception to completion, overseeing regional budgets of £5-6 million. Leading on project governance, you’ll coordinate multiple concurrent schemes, ensuring they remain on track, within budget, and aligned to programme objectives.

A key part of your role will be managing contractor performance. Working with a network of external partners, you’ll set clear expectations, monitor delivery against KPIs, and take decisive action where projects fall behind – whether that’s reprogramming works, addressing performance issues, or mitigating risks to keep delivery on track.
