Newlon Housing Trust is a successful charitable housing association and one of the major providers of new affordable housing in north and east London.

We have a great opportunity for someone with a good track record of assisting and supporting construction project management to support our Special Projects Manager with the development, management and control of major remedial works projects, with a strong focus on both internal and external fire safety, as well as other latent defects.

You will also provide Newlon and its residents with a cost effective, high quality, customer focused major defects rectification programme, providing end-to-end project management, from initial investigations right through to potential Court action to recover financial losses.

Taking the lead in resident liaison work, you will also develop trust by building and maintaining relationships with residents affected by the Special Projects work streams and ensure they are proactively kept informed about planned work.

You’ll already have a significant background of supporting the management of large programme and project delivery, often working on multiple projects at the same time. This will include supporting the management of consultants, contractors and solicitors.

In addition, you’ll have considerable diary management, report writing and performance reporting skills, combined with substantial working knowledge of resident liaison work on large scale, complex refurbishment projects, developing and managing programmes of resident involvement and engagement, as well as database management.

In return, you can expect 27 days holiday, a non-contributory pension, excellent benefits and a flexi scheme. You’ll also be working out of purpose-built offices that form part of the award‑winning Hale Village regeneration project, and are situated just two minutes’ walk from the major transport interchange at Tottenham Hale.
