Here at Platform, we are passionate about building a better future in affordable homes services and communities and are growing our External Contracts & Delivery team to further support the quality and effectiveness of responsive maintenance across our properties.

You will be assisting the team to manage the quality and effectiveness of responsive maintenance across a locality while providing technical advice on complex repair issues and escalations.
