Summary

About the role

Contract type: Permanent
Working hours: 37.5 hours per week
Location: Tewkesbury (with travel across Bromford operating areas)

At Bromford, we invest in homes and relationships so that people can thrive. We believe every customer has the right to a home that is safe, secure, and warm — and we never compromise on making this a reality.

As lead surveyor – decarbonisation, you will lead the delivery of whole-house retrofit and energy-efficiency projects across our housing stock. These projects will be funded through major national programmes, such as:

  • The Warm Homes Social Housing Fund (WH:SHF)
  • Energy Company Obligation (ECO4)
  • The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS)
  • Future net zero and decarbonisation initiatives

Alongside these funded programmes, you will also manage investments in technologies like insulation, ventilation, air source heat pumps, and solar PV. These are complex, multi-disciplinary projects that require close collaboration with contractors, internal teams, and funding partners.

You will also lead a team of retrofit professionals and hold full responsibility for quality, compliance, customer experience, and successful delivery. This includes making sure all works meet technical standards such as PAS 2035 and CDM 2015, while aligning with funding rules and Bromford’s broader investment goals.

This is a key leadership role, helping us reduce carbon emissions, tackle fuel poverty, and support the national move towards net zero. It’s about creating homes that customers are proud to live in and that enable them to thrive.

As this role involves regular travel across our operating areas — from Lichfield to Chipping Sodbury — a company car or cash allowance is provided. We also offer a hybrid working model, which includes time working from home, in our offices, and out on-site.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone with a strong technical background in retrofit and energy-efficiency work. You’ll have the leadership skills to manage people and performance, and the experience to guide large, complex programmes from start to finish.

You should have:

  • Experience delivering funded retrofit or energy-efficiency programmes
  • Knowledge of PAS 2035, retrofit coordination, and low-carbon technologies
  • Experience managing budgets, performance, and supply chains
  • A strong focus on compliance, quality, and long-term value
  • Confidence in working with a wide range of stakeholders, including customers

Essential Experience and Skills

  • Experience managing retrofit or decarbonisation projects at scale
  • Technical understanding of insulation, ventilation, heat pumps, and solar PV
  • Familiarity with PAS 2035, TrustMark, and related grant conditions
  • Experience managing a team and developing others
  • Budget management and reporting aligned to funding streams
  • Strong knowledge of health and safety and regulatory frameworks
  • Ability to manage suppliers and contracts across multiple projects
  • Confident user of digital tools, including Excel, PowerPoint, and retrofit platforms

Qualifications

To apply, you will need one of the following:

  • A degree or equivalent qualification in construction, building services, surveying, or a similar field
  • Or, relevant experience with a combination of skills aligned to retrofit delivery

We also value the following certifications (desirable but not essential):

  • Level 5 Diploma in Retrofit Coordination and Risk Management
  • Level 4 Award in Domestic Retrofit Assessment
  • Project management qualification (e.g. APM, PRINCE2)
  • ABBE Level 3 Certificate in Domestic Energy Assessment
  • Level 4 Award in Domestic Retrofit Assessment
  • Membership of RICS, CIOB, or CIH

We can support you to gain professional membership or qualifications as part of your career development.

Additional Requirements

  • A full UK driving licence
  • Ability to pass a basic DBS check, if required
  • Flexibility to work outside normal hours when needed
  • A self-motivated and organised approach to managing your workload

We are also looking for someone who is open to further training as retrofit technology and national standards continue to evolve.

  • Company car or cash allowance alternative
  • Performance Bonus: Based on individual and company-wide targets
  • Flexible Working: We’re happy to explore options if this is important to you
  • Personal benefits fund: £500 annual allowance for benefits such as private medical insurance, dental treatment, critical illness cover, or gym membership
