Want to work for one of London's leading Developers?

Notting Hill Genesis (NHG) is one of London's leading housing associations, and we have an ambitious programme to build 1,400 homes a year. We currently have 2,000 homes on site and a strong pipeline with a range of exciting projects that will deliver high quality homes and communities.

We're looking for a Project Manager – Post Construction to join our team to manage latent and major defect projects within our portfolio. You'll be responsible for leading projects, working with a number of internal and external stakeholders to resolve latent defects. You'll be responsible for finding solutions, bringing projects in on time and within budget as well as ensuring there is minimum disruption for our residents.

This is a challenging and rewarding role as well as a great opportunity to continue to make Notting Hill Genesis (NHG) a leader in defect management. Resident satisfaction is one of our top priorities and a focus on this will run through everything you do.

Your role will involve working with industry bodies such as NHBC, BRE, warranty providers and other industry bodies to resolve latent defects. You'll need to stay up to date with industry best practice and changes in legislation. At NHG we're also keen to feedback our experience into new projects so you'll be a key contributor in making sure we address design or installation issues in future builds by influencing our Employers Requirements and technical specifications for the future.

You will be required to work with the Latent Defects Project Manager to provide regular reports to senior managers on project progress. At times these reports will be required for review at Executive Level and you'll be confident in producing reports to a high standard. Throughout the life of the project you'll keep clear and detailed records against each case so our management teams know what action is being taken.

Our front line housing management teams do a fantastic job in providing property management services to our residents. Your role will be to support them on the projects you're working on by ensuring they're fully up to speed. You'll be expected to visit residents in their homes to review and diagnose defect issues. There may also be occasions where you're required to attend resident association meetings to provide updates on project progress and this may require some occasional evening working. Within the wider Post Construction Services Team you'll support colleagues managing defects within years 1 and 2 of handover. You'll assist colleagues with defect diagnoses on difficult cases and help identify any trends and you'll provide support as necessary during this period.

With a background in building surveying and/ or construction project management, and possibly appropriate chartership (e.g. CIOB/ RICS) or working towards this, you'll use your technical know how to work with colleagues in our asset management department, development project managers, external consultants, and contractors to find solutions first time round. You'll be NHG's post–construction project lead so you'll bring strong project management experience to the role. An understanding of procurement will be key as you'll be responsible for procuring consultants and at times, contractors, for your projects. You'll work within NHG's procurement regulations at all times.

Experience of defect resolution, the construction process and contract management is therefore vital in this role as well as the ability to quickly identify issues and negotiate successful outcomes.The ability to negotiate and influence within this role is therefore key. You'll have experience of contract management and will know how to get the best from contractors. Your ability to communicate will cut across all levels and you'll build successful, positive and professional relationships

This role comes with responsibility and you'll thrive in this kind of environment. NHG is committed to your continual development and will look to support you with ongoing qualifications and professional development. We pride ourselves on investing in our workforce – we offer ongoing training to help you grow and develop into your role, with potential opportunity to progress within the role.

If this sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you.
