About the Role
At Peabody, our purpose is clear: to deliver safe homes and great experiences for every resident and colleague we work with. Our values guide everything we do, being kind, doing the right thing, pulling together, loving new ideas, celebrating diversity and keeping our promises. We’re now looking for a Document Controller to join our Asset Compliance and Building Safety team and play a vital role in ensuring our project information is accurate, accessible, and compliant. Your work will directly support our responsibilities under the Building Safety Act and the delivery of the Golden Thread of Information.

In this role, you will:
- Maintain and administer our SharePoint-based document repositories.
- Ensure accurate document uploads, metadata application, permissions management and version control.
- Support project teams and external partners by responding promptly to document-related queries.
- Assist with project handover documentation, ensuring completeness and compliance.
- Help refine and strengthen our document management systems as we bring this provision fully in-house.

About you
