Services Delivery Lead

Plentific is redefining property management in real time, leading real estate to a “World of Now” through our cloud‑based platform.

We are looking for a Service Delivery Lead to take end‑to‑end ownership of the inspection and survey workflow.

This high‑impact role involves managing the full lifecycle of inspection work orders, ensuring the delivery of inspections with contractor surveyors, and overseeing projects such as post‑disrepair surveys, damp and mould inspections, void inspections, stock condition surveys and pre‑/post‑work surveys.

• Service Catalogue – Create and grow the inspection service offering with a sustainable contractor base.
• Pricing – Lead discussions with clients about project costs, ensuring pricing models reflect technical complexity.
• Margin Protection – Negotiate competitive rates with contractors while maintaining Plentific’s commercial margins.

• Capability Evaluation – Lead the technical assessment of new inspection and surveyor contractors, verifying qualifications, past performance, and expertise in UK housing standards.
• Selection Strategy – Match accreditation, capacity, pricing, and SLA expectations to client requirements, ensuring high‑risk or high‑complexity jobs are handled by top‑tier providers.

• End‑to‑End Oversight – Manage the full “order‑to‑completion” lifecycle, ensuring jobs are scheduled and executed within agreed SLAs.
• Relationship Mediation – Act as the primary contact for clients and contractors, resolving technical blockers and clarifying scope‑of‑work discrepancies in real time.

• KPI Tracking – Monitor contractor performance using metrics such as report accuracy and punctuality.
• Continuous Audit – Review completed inspection reports to ensure compliance with the Decent Homes Standard and the Building Safety Act, providing corrective feedback.

• Industry Expertise – Deep experience within UK social housing or as a service provider for a registered provider.
• Technical Foundation – Background in surveying or technical property inspections, and knowledge of required accreditations.
• Commercial Acumen – Comfortable justifying costs to clients and negotiating value with contractors.
• Data‑Driven Mindset – Enjoy tracking performance metrics and proactively addressing supply‑chain weak links.

• Regulatory Knowledge – Expert understanding of HHSRS, UK building regulations, disrepairs, voids, damp and mould, and stock condition surveys.
• Experience – 10+ years in a technical housing role (RP or contractor), ideally with surveys, procurement, asset management or service delivery management.
• Tech‑Savvy – Ability to navigate and leverage the Plentific platform to automate workflows and extract performance data.
• Communication – Authoritative yet collaborative, able to hold contractors accountable while maintaining partner relations.
