The role also involves making informed decisions about how maintenance and repair work is prioritised, ensuring buildings remain safe and in good condition. You will check the quality of contractor work, recommend repair actions and confirm when work meets the required standards. Strong financial responsibility is essential, as you will manage budgets, monitor spending, and certify contractor payments in line with contract requirements.
&nbsp;
In addition, you will work closely with a range of internal teams and external partners. This includes collaborating with contractors, colleagues across the Council and specialist services to support sustainability, energy efficiency and the effective delivery of building projects.

<li>A valid driving licence and access to a vehicle.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
