Additionally, you will provide technical guidance and post-inspection support to colleagues, support the delivery of planned works, contribute to continual service improvement, review home improvement requests with a focus on safeguarding housing stock, and actively participate in cross-team initiatives to enhance the resident experience.

- Deep understanding of housing construction, maintenance diagnostics, and the NHF Schedule of Rates.
- Strong expertise in damp and mould diagnostics and effective application of the HHSRS framework.
- Experience working collaboratively with both technical and non-technical teams.

About you
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to translate technical issues into clear, resident-friendly solutions.
- Genuine curiosity, commitment, and drive to fix issues correctly the first time, within budget and to the highest standard.
- Proactive, resident-focused, and able to lead and motivate a small team effectively.
