About the Role
As one of London’s largest social landlords, we are seeking an exceptional and experienced professional to lead the delivery of a large-scale capital investment programme, including a circa £60m cladding remediation programme across high-rise buildings. This is a critical leadership role responsible for ensuring the safe, compliant and efficient delivery of complex capital works from inception through to completion and handover.
