Summary
An excellent opportunity has arisen to be part of a dynamic Facilities team that is constantly developing and looking for new and improved ways of managing fire safety across our portfolio of non-domestic and commercial properties.
The ideal candidate will have the ability to be progressive and adaptable within the role and always be looking to drive service improvements in a fast paced and changing legislative world of facilities management.
Contractor management skills will be a key area for you, delivering within a framework of key performance areas makes the role both challenging and rewarding. Customer safety is at the heart of everything we do at Beyond Housing and you will take center stage in the delivery of a busy programme of maintenance and repairs programmes. Solving problems and decision making will be required to achieve our compliance targets and you will do this with the support and guidance of an experienced and dedicated Facilities team.
The Facilities Officer is a developing role, and you will play a defining part in this as facilities and fire safety compliance continue to adapt and we continue to develop our procedures. The Fire Safety Bill is progressing through parliament and it will bring greater focus and responsibility for us but also provide the support required to deal with non-conformance and access issues to carry out our maintenance work.
Quality assurance for maintenance works and processes and procedures employed will be an area you will have authority over. You will have a leading role in internal audits as we continually look to review and improve, you will be involved in audit scoping, evidence collection, management responses and agreement of audit actions. The actions we agree on and carry out will be learning and improvement that gives assurance to the organisation.
Our maintenance partners are key stakeholders, therefore you will play an advanced role in selecting who we work with, providing specification content and maintenance breakdowns. You will be involved across all tender and contractor appointment processes, evaluating safety, customer focus, quality and cost. You will be responsible for day-to-day management of fire safety actions as we continue to review our communal spaces and uphold our high standards. To do this you will lead on a multi departmental team of colleagues committed to delivering high standards of repairs and fire safety. You will develop key relationships across the organisation, providing and receiving expert support from Health and Safety, Maintenance, Housing, and Estate teams, hence sustaining a collective and collaborative approach.
