Job description
Will Adie is dedicated to delivering a first-class customer service, resolving problems informally wherever possible, taking an innovative and creative approach to solving complex building safety issues.

This is a rare chance to shape the future of building safety technical services in a fast-growing, national organisation with a real social purpose. Working with key stakeholders and internal teams you will ensure consistent and effective resolution of complex issues on the planning or execution and management of applicants construction contracts to fix buildings.
The role will primarily support the Cladding Safety Schemes Operations Team, helping to ensure progress remains on track to get buildings fixed and that the public money funding the works achieves the best value.

This is an excellent opportunity to balance day-to-day delivery while bringing innovative solutions to the Technical Services One Team offering.
Person specification
Whilst our day job is to deliver first class customer service to our stakeholders on technical building safety matters, you will be used to “spinning several plates” at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.
Primarily working on the Cladding Safety Scheme and as required, other government sponsored building safety schemes, you’ll be comfortable supporting several projects with identified complex cladding remediation issues, aiming to find solutions to deliver cladding remediation works to programme. You will be able to critically review technical documents to identify risks and potential issues, propose proportionate mitigation strategies and provide technical quality assurance regarding content and price.
You will already have proficient knowledge and a deep understanding of the relevant principles, emerging technical standards, and guidance for building safety compliance, along with demonstrable extensive experience within the housing, construction, and development industry. You will hold a technical building related qualification and professional membership of a relevant construction profession.
Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isnt always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as a delivery focused technical specialist team. You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.
As an experienced and qualified senior technical manager, youll understand how to manage colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.
