Place

Programme Management Office (PMO) Manager – Capital Delivery
Waverley Court

Salary: £50,287 - £60,187
Hours: 36 per week

We plan to invest £2.8 billion over ten years in new homes, existing homes and estates. The strategy also seeks to support the health and wellbeing of tenants and support the transition towards a ‘net zero’ carbon city in which all forms of deprivation and inequality are reduced.

The capital investment programme seeks to deliver a holistic area-based approach to creating places where people want to live that keep them safe, secure, healthy and connected, through:

• energy efficient, low carbon Council homes that minimise carbon emissions and reduce energy demand in secure, modern, well-maintained stairwells;

• new and existing Council homes blended together to create a local identity and a sense of pride in communities;

• well-designed, green, open spaces that encourage residents to be active, with strong connectivity to the wider community through sustainable, affordable travel; and

• Accessible, responsive and efficient services building on existing links with partner organisations to drive forward individual and community resilience and wellbeing.

We are seeking an experienced, highly motivated, customer focused, outcome driven officer who will have an overarching determination and responsibility to improve the homes and environment of our tenants across our existing portfolio.

The PMO manager is key to planning and co-ordinating the capital investment programme in Council homes and estates and key responsibilities include:

• Develop plans for delivering retrofit projects in low rise mixed tenure housing estates, aligning new investment with programmes currently in development or in delivery.
• Bring innovative thinking and a willingness to learn from best practice across the country in delivering net zero carbon communities.
• Have strong programme and project management skills and be confident in successfully leading, motivating and managing programme or project teams.

If you are someone who enjoys new opportunities and have strong leadership skills demonstrating our behaviours – respect, integrity and flexibility as well as extensive experience of leading projects teams, driving change and service delivery, we would love to hear from you.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
